Rival groups clash in Gaza
Gun fight leaves at least 10 people wounded despite a new security plan.
The man was detained because he was suspected of being involved in firing on security forces overnight, according to a source with the national security forces.
Hamas fighters responded by storming the facility where the man was being held and freeing him. At least two members of the national security forces were injured, one seriously, in the gun fight.
