Egyptian mediators brokered the agreement between the rival Palestinian factions Hamas and Fatah to pull their armed men off the streets. Sunday's violence was the worst since the factions agreed in February to form a unity government. The violence began when a leader of the Fatah-linked al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades was ambushed and shot dead. Eighteen people were also injured in the day's clashes and dozens more apparently abducted. Factional clashes "We have agreed to stop the fighting, to withdraw armed men from the streets and to release the hostages," said Hamas spokesman Ayman Taha. Officials from Fatah confirmed the deal which was intended to come into effect at 0100 (2200 GMT) Monday. The death of Baha Abu Jarab, from the al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, sparked a series of factional clashes. His driver also died in the ambush, which the Brigades blamed on the armed wing of Hamas. Hamas denied the claim, but two Palestinians reportedly linked to Hamas were later killed near a mosque in Gaza City, and nine more people were injured. Most of those wounded were members of Hamas, medical sources told AFP news agency. Later, three people were wounded during Abu Jarab's funeral procession in Jabaliya, witnesses said. Back in Gaza City, masked gunmen abducted a Hamas religious scholar as he left a mosque, his family and Hamas officials said. Ali Sharif, a teacher at the Islamic University in his 70s, was taken outside his home in Sabra neighbourhood. Hamas later issued a statement saying that 70 of its members had been abducted, the BBC's Aleem Maqbool reports from Ramallah in the West Bank. But Egyptian officials reached a deal to pull gunmen off the streets and ease tensions. Security operation Sunday's fighting was the worst outbreak of violence since a February ceasefire between the rival factions, who established a unity government in March. Gaza map Palestinian Information Minister Mustafa Barghouti called for the rival factions to control their armed forces. "Not only the future of the government, but the future of all the Palestinian people will be endangered if these bloody acts continue," he said. Last week, Hamas and Fatah launched a major security operation to crack down on violence and lawlessness in Gaza. As many as 3,000 police were reported to have taken part in the initial operations. Officials said that troops loyal to both Fatah and Hamas would now wear the same police uniform and answer to the interior ministry, which has been placed under the control of Hani Qawasmi, a political independent in the coalition government. Up to 400 people have died in clashes between Palestinian factions since the Islamist Hamas won last year's parliamentary elections. Since the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza in 2005, the strip has seen a wave of infighting, armed robberies, deadly family feuds and kidnappings.

Many companies say they are confused and frustrated as they try to adjust to the new rules, and some say mailings could be severely curtailed due to higher postage costs. The new regulations mean larger envelopes and packages will automatically cost more than smaller mail. Currently, postage is determined by weight, unless it's an especially large or odd-shaped package that warrants special handling. If your solution come Monday is to stuff the same amount of material into a smaller envelope, the Postal Service could get you there, too: There are new thickness restrictions. For first-class, letter envelopes, the allowed thickness is a quarter inch. If you go over a quarter inch, you run into more costly large envelope or parcel rates. Postal Service spokesman Dave Partenheimer said the new rates take shape into account because it requires more effort to process a larger piece of mail. "Before, thickness didn't matter," he said. Now, "thickness does come into play. If it gets too thick you create a new shape." Cindy Golebiewski, an office manager in Wilmington, Delaware, said her company faces much higher postage costs under the new rules. "The price is just doubling," she said. If not for the new thickness limits, "we would be better off stuffing a 6-by-9-inch envelope than putting it into a big brown envelope," she said. The Direct Marketing Association in New York is "very, very unhappy," said spokeswoman Stephanie Hendricks. "The rates go into effect on Monday under protest." She complained that businesses also have to deal with a new pricing category called "not flat-machinable." That pertains to mailings that are not flat and more rigid because they might contain things like cardboard. As such, they don't go through processing machines as easily as letters -- they have "parcel-like characteristics," Partenheimer said. The new rules pose a problem for Roska Direct Advertising in suburban Philadelphia, which produces marketing pieces in unique shapes like small boxes. "We're trying to figure it out," said Mario Amici, senior vice president of production, operations and project management. "The post office hasn't really explained this." Even mailing a simple brochure may pose a problem for businesses. Postage for a three-panel brochure weighing an ounce might cost the new rate of 41 cents -- up from 39 cents -- unless it's not folded well and the envelope puffs up to half an inch. If the mail can't be easily flattened, then the postage would shoot up to 80 cents. Under the old rules, the envelope could puff out and still cost the same.
