Four People were killed and six others suffered injuries after an explosion in Beit Hanoun in the northern Gaza Strip, a medical official said.
Ashraf al-Qidra said that Mohammad Tayseer al-Hamdeen, 26, Bilal al-Hamdeen, Jafaar Odwaan and a fourth unidentified man were killed in the explosion.
Six others were injured including two children and a woman in critical condition, he added.
The four were all affiliated with Hamas' al-Qassam Brigades, and they arrived dead at the hospital, a Ma’an reporter said.
The house was severely damaged, and the cause of the explosion was not immediately clear.
Earlier, an Israeli airstrike killed three Palestinians in the southern Gaza Strip, the same official said.
Al-Qidra told Ma'an that three resistance fighters were killed by the airstrike in southeast Khan Younis near the Sufa crossing.
Palestine Today says that the explosion was on the third floor of a family house. It helpfully adds that the bodies of the "martyrs" were "cut to shreds."This is the photo they published, although they sometimes recycle file footage without identifying it.
Felesteen reports of a separate explosion at a Gaza City corner market that injured four, including a child.
I think Hamas has to find a better supplier of explosives. The current batch seems to be too dangerous. Where's the Gaza consumer protection agency when they need it?
Anyway, things are really busy in the "playground of death" today!
