GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - An Israeli helicopter launched missiles at a Hamas command center in the southern Gaza Strip on Wednesday, killing at least four people, after Hamas fired rocket barrages into Israel in an apparent attempt to draw it into the Palestinian infighting.
Hamas gunmen fatally shot six bodyguards from the rival
Fatah movement and mistakenly ambushed a jeep carrying their own fighters, killing five. In all, 16 Palestinians were killed in the infighting Wednesday — the bloodiest day since violence broke out in the Gaza Strip four days ago.
The streets of central Gaza City echoed with gunfire and were empty except for gunmen in black ski masks. Terrified residents stayed home from school and work, huddling in dark homes after electricity to some neighborhoods was cut off by a downed power line.

The violence threatened to bring down the Palestinians' two-month-old Hamas-Fatah unity government — and brought the Palestinians dangerously close to all-out civil war.
