GAZA, Dec 18 (Reuters) - Gunmen from Fatah and Hamas exchanged gunfire in Gaza City on Monday, witnesses said, further straining a shaky ceasefire between the rival Palestinian movements.

Hamas said a Fatah activist had shot and wounded a Hamas armed activist. Witnesses said the shooting triggered the ensuing gun battle.

It was not immediately clear if there were any casualties from the clash.
