(Jerusalem Post) Matthew Gutman - A violent dispute Friday over land in the former Gaza settlements left one Palestinian dead and several others wounded in clashes between clans claiming the area and PA police. The shootout erupted after police arrested two members of two different clans for staking out land in the Muwassi area near the former settlement of Neve Dekalim. The clans sent armed tribal members to sack the police station and free the prisoners. The PA Interior Ministry reported that three police officers and several armed gunmen were wounded in the shootout at the Khan Yunis police headquarters. Much of Neve Dekalim is slated for a new campus for the Khan Yunis-based Al-Quds University.
