    After hours of talks with Hamas and Fatah leaders, Haniyeh told a press conference that the two factions have agreed to cease the violence.

    He said both sides believed that only through dialogue could the differences be resolved.

    Gunmen from the groups exchanged fire Monday after the Fatah militants allegedly abducted four Hamas' fighters.

    Three gunmen were killed in the clash, two from Fatah and one from Hamas. There were at least 10 other militants injured.

    Clashes flared up again on Tuesday as Fatah militants were holding a funeral for the killed one day earlier. More than 15 people, mostly students on their way to school, were wounded in the clashes. Enditem
