Fighting intensifies in Gaza
Israel pounded Hamas targets with airstrikes today, killing six people and wounding dozens as it stepped into intense fighting between the Islamic militants and the rival Fatah movement of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
The Israeli attacks followed Hamas rocket barrages on southern Israel. The strikes made it harder for Hamas gunmen to move around, and prompted accusations - on Hamas websites, radio and TV - that Abbas-linked forces are in cahoots with Israel.
