Hamas takes revenge for Gaza air strikes NIDAL AL-MUGHRABI IN GAZA A ROCKET-propelled grenade fired by Hamas militants struck an Israeli army bulldozer inside the Gaza Strip yesterday, killing two Palestinians. The attack, which also wounded an Israeli soldier, was the first by Hamas against Israeli troops who have taken up positions just inside Gaza's northern border to try to stop militants firing rockets at nearby Israeli towns. On Wednesday, Israel launched a wave of air strikes against Hamas targets and senior Israeli officials said they were considering taking tougher measures. The air strikes have plunged the Palestinians deeper into turmoil after nine days of fierce internal fighting between ruling Hamas Islamists and President Mahmoud Abbas's secular Fatah faction. Hamas and Fatah negotiators agreed in Egyptian-brokered talks to a new ceasefire starting at noon GMT yesterday. "It would be a stigma if internal violence continued amid such Israeli aggression," Fatah leader Tawfiq Abu Khoussa said. But minutes after talks ended, the convoy of one Fatah negotiator came under attack from unidentified Palestinian gunmen. Mohammad al-Masri, a top Abbas intelligence official, was unharmed. Israeli defence minister Amir Peretz played down the prospect of a massive ground invasion but added: "I think the idea of taking over Gaza again is a decision that can be made at any time."
