"Six people have been killed in a West Bank clash between Hamas fighters and Palestinian policemen, officials say.So the story is one of inter-factional fighting not involving Israel at all, except for Hamas blaming everything on Israel:
Three policemen, two members of Hamas and another man were killed in a gun battle when police went to arrest the Hamas men in a dawn raid in Qalqilya.
Officials said the police were loyal to Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas, of rival group Fatah. "
"Hamas responded to the shooting with a statement from Gaza denouncing Mr Abbas's forces as "Zionist agents".
"Their crackdown against and pursuit of wanted men with the help of the enemy [Israel] lays down the foundation for resistance" by Hamas, Reuters reported the group as saying."
Right at the end of the article the BBC report a fact that seemed to be missing from most of their coverage of the Israel incursions into Gaza:
"Unlike the Fatah-dominated PLO, Hamas refuses to recognise Israel's right to exist and has waged a violent campaign against it for years. "
