Palestinian gunmen have stormed election offices in the Gaza town of Khan Younis ahead of the January parliamentary poll, witnesses say.
Militants associated with the ruling Fatah party are also said to have surrounded a poll office in Rafah.
And what have the Palestinians been doing since Israel gave them Gaza? Launching attacks from there.
He [Abbas] has also appealed to militants to halt rocket attacks on Israel.
Islamic Jihad is reported to have rejected his call at a meeting of armed groups in Gaza, and blamed Israel for a recent escalation in violence.
There were more Israeli air strikes against targets in Gaza early on Wednesday morning, but there are no reports of casualties.
The Israeli army said the aircraft had attacked access roads used by militants to fire rockets at Israeli targets.
[Palestinian] Armed groups have been able to fire missiles deeper into Israel since it withdrew from Gaza in September.
Sharon was right to call the Palestinians bluff.
More here.
Israeli warplanes have bombed what the army says is a Palestinian militant base in Lebanon hours after rocket attacks on two Israeli border towns.
They struck at a target south of the capital, Beirut, which was described as a base of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
There was no immediate information on casualties or damage.
"This is in response to the firing of projectile rockets last night toward Israeli communities," the army said.
At least four rockets fired from Lebanese territory hit Israeli towns close to the border on Tuesday evening without causing casualties.
