Several people were killed over the weekend in Gaza City in violent clashes between Hamas security forces and the members of an armed clan, multiple sources reported on Monday.
Skirmishes first broke out last week between the Palestinian Islamist group and the Doghmush clan after a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas came into effect.
On Sunday evening, gunfights took place in the Sabra neighbourhood of Gaza City, according to witnesses who spoke with AFP on condition of anonymity, citing fears for their safety.
“About 200 members of the (Hamas) security forces were present and fought until they completely subdued” the clan members, a local resident said.
