GAZA, May 19 (Reuters) - A convoy carrying a top aide to President Mahmoud Abbas's intelligence chief in the Gaza Strip came under fire on Saturday despite a new ceasefire deal between the rival Hamas and Fatah factions, security sources said.

It was not immediately clear who attacked the convoy, which was carrying senior intelligence aide Mohammad al-Masri of Fatah. Security sources said he was unharmed.

An Israeli police officer inspects the scene after a rocket, fired by Palestinian militants in Gaza, exploded near Kibbutz Zikim in southern Israel May 22, 2007. Israel said on Tuesday it could target Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas and that a Gaza ground offensive was possible unless world pressure was brought on the Islamist group to halt rocket fire.
