GAZA, Oct. 29 (Xinhua) -- Palestinian President
Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah movement announced on Sunday that it will abide by an
agreement with the ruling Hamas to end their clashes in Gaza Strip.
Unity is the strip of salvation and the title of
struggle...It should be applied on the ground among all the Palestinians," said
Fatah movement's pamphlet.
On Friday night, leaders of the two rival sects
agreed to halt the ongoing street fighting between their gunmen in Gaza Strip.
Fatah movement said it was satisfied with the truce
agreement, which also included the content to protect the public buildings and
to beef up police and security forces to restore order.
Violence had mounted between Hamas and once-ruling
Fatah in the Gaza Strip since Hamas won the Palestinian legislative elections in
January 25.
Situation worsened after Hamas decided to form an
auxiliary force and deployed it Gaza Strip. More than 20 Palestinians were
killed and dozens injured since the force was formed in early April.
