GAZA (Reuters) - Security forces from rival Palestinian factions paraded through the streets of Gaza on Thursday, sometimes within feet of one another, intensifying fears of a showdown between the heavily armed groups.
Bearded young men armed with AK-47s and dressed in military fatigues, part of a new, 3,000-strong Hamas-allied force, held ground on many streets, while a bolstered police force loyal to President Mahmoud Abbas paraded nearby.
