A Palestinian civilian was killed tonight in an exchange of gunfire between security services and Hamas militants in the north of the Gaza Strip.

The clash erupted after Hamas supporters tried to storm a police station in the Jabaliya refugee area north of Gaza City where five Hamas militants were brought after being arrested a short while earlier.

The militants were arrested after Palestinian security services prevented them from launching a mortar attack.

Five members of the Palestinian intelligence service were wounded during the raid, including one seriously, according to hospital sources.
