A group of 188 Palestinians granted refuge in Israel amid deadly fighting between rivals Egypt to facilitate Hamas-Fatah talks: Abbas ...
Syria's Assad says Mideast peace a matter of time ...
Hamas says captured Israeli soldier not part of any truce deal ... Hamas and Fatah are to be returned to Gaza, Israel says.
The men, members of a clan allied to Fatah, were allowed into Israel after fighting left nine dead on Saturday.
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, who heads Fatah, told Israel not to transfer them to the West Bank, as he had earlier requested.
At least 32 have already been returned to Gaza, Israeli officials have said.
Israel's military says 22 of those who crossed the border were taken to hospitals in Israel for medical treatment.
Israel opened the border after both Egypt and President Abbas asked for the men to be allowed in.
Israel also agreed to an initial request by Palestinian Authority leaders to send the men to the West Bank.
However, Israel's defence ministry now says Mr Abbas has asked for the group to be sent back into Gaza.
One Fatah official, Hussein al-Shaikh, said the Palestinian Authority was discussing with Israel exactly how to return the men.
But the Reuters news agency quoted a Hamas spokesman as saying the men sent back to Gaza in the first group on Sunday were immediately arrested by security services.
Accusations
The Fatah men, some injured in the fighting, ran to the border crossing after a day of bloody fighting with their bitter rivals Hamas, who control the Gaza Strip.
An Israeli army spokesman said some had laid down their weapons as they approached the crossing.
When Israeli soldiers went to open the fence, they came under heavy fire, presumably by Hamas, the spokesman said.
The Fatah supporters were hand-cuffed and stripped for security screening as they crossed into Israel.
Fatah and Hamas blamed each other for starting the fighting on Saturday.
Reports say that the clashes broke out during a raid by Hamas on the stronghold of a local pro-Fatah clan.
Hamas had accused Fatah supporters of involvement in a bombing a week ago that killed five Hamas members and a young girl. Fatah denies this.
Hamas fighters had tried to storm the family home of the Hilles clan in Gaza City on Saturday morning, using grenades and mortars, reports say.
A spokesman for the Hamas-run interior ministry accused the clan of hiding bombing suspects in its compound.
"The Hilles family has become a military force and members of the family have been attacking, abducting and even killing people," spokesman Ehab al-Ghasin said.
The family denied the accusation.
