JAFFA, Israel – Hamas terrorists were in for a surprise yesterday when Palestinian gunmen from a rival group tried to escape a Hamas siege by dressing as women.

The gunmen were attempting to flee a Hamas crackdown on a powerful clan affiliated with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah organization. Hamas suspected the clan was harboring Palestinians responsible for a series of bombings last week that killed five Hamas members.

Yesterday's clashes left nine dead and over 80 wounded in the most violent round yet of Hamas' weeklong confrontation with rival Fatah.

Hamas forces yesterday surrounded the Shejaia district of Gaza City to arrest about a dozen people suspected of a role in last weekend's bombing, which took place on the Gaza beachfront and apparently targeted Hamas members. Hamas suspected the Fatah-linked Hilles clan, which dominates Shejaia, of involvement in the bombings and of hiding the perpetrators.

Clan head Ahmed Hilles formerly served as the PA's security chief in Gaza, but later switched over to Hamas. He is now accused of doing bidding for Fatah.

The Hamas siege prompted exchanges of gunfire and rocket-propelled-grenade attacks between the terror group and the well-armed Hilles family, many members of which are suspected of involvement in terrorism against Israel.

But Hamas eventually dominated the clan, storming several high-rise buildings and arresting rooftop snipers, gunmen and wounded fighters.

At one point, Hamas arrested 15 Hilles clan members, including 10 who had tried to flee disguised as women, Hamas spokesman Islam Shahwan said.

During the clashes, Ahmed Hilles phoned PA President Abbas, who then worked with Egyptian mediators to arrange for safe passage of 150 top Fatah-Hilles gunmen from Gaza to enter Israel, where many of the wounded received treatment.

Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak instructed Israel Defense Forces troops manning border crossings to allow the fleeing Gazans' entry into the Jewish state, where the wounded were brought to a hospital and uninjured gunmen were transferred to the West Bank.

Fatah, which was largely expelled from Gaza last summer, retaliated against Hamas in the West Bank, where Fatah maintains more control, although Hamas is starting to dominate many West Bank villages. Abbas' group arrested multiple Hamas leaders in the West Bank and also briefly kidnapped a Hamas-affiliated professor, threatening to kill him unless Hamas ceased its Gaza siege. Eventually the professor was released unharmed.
