A deployment of Palestinian soldiers prevented fighters to fire Qassam missiles toward Israel.
Acording to the Palestinian security sources, weapons and missiles belonging to fighters have been confiscated by the army that Abbas wanted in the Gaza strip, on Tuesday.
"Members of the security forces in northern Gaza stopped a militant group from firing three mortar shells into Israel," said a policeman.
The new Palestinian leader expressed the desire of stopping the Qassam missiles fired from the Gaza strip by Palestinian fighters against Israel in an attempt to achieve a ceas-fire and to talk with Ariel Sharon about peace beetween Palestine and Israel.
After what happened today, the deployment of forces, along the Gaza Strip will be increased.
A Palestinian official declared: "There is Israeli-Palestinian agreement to deploy Palestinian forces in the southern area, and in central Gaza."
