Six Palestinians were killed Saturday in clashes between Fatah and Hamas throughout the Gaza Strip, bringing the number of fatalities since fighting began Thursday to 21.

Some fifty people were kidnapped throughout the weekend and dozens wounded.

Two men were killed Saturday as gunmen exchanged fire near Gaza City's Islamic University. Two died in the neighborhood of Tal al-Howa, one in the Sudeniya refugee camp and one died of his wounds in a Gaza hospital.

Earlier, Hamas and Fatah gunmen firing mortar shells and lobbing grenades fought outside a security compound in Gaza City.

The ruling Hamas movement said Friday evening that it was suspending talks with Fatah on forming a unity government in the wake of the ongoing fighting.

"Following the awful massacres committed today in Gaza and northern Gaza... we have decided to postpone all dialogue with Fatah," said Hamas spokesman Ismail Radwan.

Earlier, Fatah also said it was suspending negotiations.

Representatives of Fatah and Hamas reached a cease-fire agreement Friday evening, in a meeting with Palestinian Interior Minister Said Siyam in Gaza, although the cease-fire has yet to be implemented.

Gaza hospital officials said a 2-year-old boy was killed when Fatah gunmen fired at a car believed to be carrying Hamas militants in the southern town of Khan Yunis. Hamas and Fatah officials accused each other of firing the deadly shot.

In other fighting, gunmen exchanged fire outside a mosque in Gaza City. Hamas said three members were killed.
