GAZA, May 13 (Reuters) - Rival Palestinian factions agreed to a ceasefire on Sunday in a bid to end a round of factional fighting between Fatah and Hamas gunmen, an official said.

"The two groups agreed to end the fighting and to pull gunmen off the streets of Gaza," an official told Reuters after faction members held talks brokered by Egyptian mediators.
