– IDF vessels opened fire with machineguns in the direction of Palestinian fishing boats west of Rafah on two separate occasions, although no injuries were reported. The IDF also fired a missile at a reported rocket launch site in the northern Gaza Strip. <\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

– Internal violence in the form of armed clashes between rival factions continued with one dead and 24 Palestinians injured.

\n

West Bank: <\/p><\/div>\n
