Armed Palestinians laid siege to two government ministries in the Gaza Strip in shootouts with police officers that left three people injured.
Demanding jobs, members of Fatah's Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, forced their way into the Gaza offices of the foreign and finance ministries, located in the same area.
According to AFP, three men -- two civilians and a gunman -- were injured in the exchange of fire between the gunmen and police officers.
In a separate incident, two police officers and a gunman were injured in a shootout when Al-Aqsa members ambushed a police convoy near Erez, the main crossing point between the Gaza Strip and Israel, a police source said. The gunmen had blockaded the main road near Erez to demand jobs.
