6 dead as Palestinian factions clash in West Bank

Hamas says the clampdown on one of its armed cells will bring ‘tough and harsh reprisal’ against the Fatah-led administration in the West Bank.

Tension between Palestinian factions exploded in their worst violence in nearly two years as a paramilitary police raid Sunday in the West Bank left six people dead. The clash underscored the risks for the Palestinian Authority as it moves forcefully, with fresh encouragement from President Obama, to disarm militants intent on attacking Israel.
