Hamas urges creation of Palestinian army after election victory
Hamas proposes forming a Palestinian army including its militant wing after winning 74 of 132 seats. Israeli officials condemn the plan and demand Hamas renounce violence. Clashes erupt as Fatah loyalists reject Hamas control and police storm Gaza parliament. Mashaal in Damascus says 5000-strong Gaza wing could merge into a national force.
