A member of Fatah’s Force 17 was killed on Thursday and three other men were wounded in a gunfight in Ramallah. Witnesses said the fight broke out after Palestinian Authority policemen attempted to arrest members of one of the city’s largest clans. Armed clan members opened fire on the policemen, causing the gunfight.
