Violence has broken out in Gaza City as Palestinian police officers protesting over unpaid wages tried to break into the legislative council building, Al Jazeera's correspondent Nour Odeh reports.
At least two guards were wounded as security forces protecting the parliament exchanged fire with the demonstrators.
Hundreds of Palestinian security officers marched to the building firing guns into the air and chanting: "We want our wages ... down with the government".
The protesters demanded that members of the Hamas government leave the building to talk to them about their demands.
