 GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) - A Hamas militant was shot and killed Wednesday outside his home in the Gaza town of Khan Younis after Hamas gunmen shot a security commander loyal to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, officials said.
The local security commander, Rifat Kulab, was shot seven times in the legs during an ambush on his car in the town, Palestinian security forces said. He was in moderate condition.
Hamas accused Palestinian security forces of shooting the militant later in the day.
A Hamas attack on a Preventive Security office in Gaza on Monday led to a daylong gunbattle in the southern town of Rafah, and sparked a rampage by security men against government buildings in the West Bank later in the day.
