From BBC:
The Palestinian government says work will cease in all government offices a day after its headquarters in Ramallah were stormed by protesters.
The Hamas-led administration said the suspension also followed "attempts to kidnap officials".
The statement does not say when work will be resumed or what steps may be taken to keep the government running.
Deadly gun battles started in Gaza on Sunday after a pro-Hamas militias moved to quell protests about unpaid wages.
Rival gunmen from Hamas and the Fatah movement clashed again on Monday, but there are no reports of injuries.
Prime Minister Ismail Haniya of Hamas has called for calm after Sunday's factional fighting, which left eight people dead and about 60 wounded.

Civil war amongst Muslims, dont'cha just love it?
A close associate of mine, two years ago, remarked his predictions of a civil war in palestine following arafat's death.
Looks like he's dead on.
Well, if this drives Palestinians from attacking Israelis, it's good. Anyway, I was totally surprised at the hate expression the Palestinian looking in the direction of the photographer, has in the 2nd photo. I mean, if you hate people who are from your same country, religion... -only differing in some political issues, that objectively seen, are not great really-, is really surprising these militiamen hate Israel, USA, etc...?
Not the least...
