Hamas Man Killed in "Work Accident"
(AP/Ynet News) A Palestinian Hamas member was killed in an explosion in Beit Lahiya in the northern Gaza Strip, hospital officials said Saturday. Two other Hamas members were moderately wounded in the blast. The Israel Defense Forces said it was not operating in the area at the time and that the incident was likely a "work accident." During the past four years many Palestinians have been accidentally killed while handling explosives. In a separate incident Friday, an explosive charge was detonated near an IDF armored personnel carrier traveling in the Erez industrial zone in Gaza. No injuries were reported. Army officials noted the explosion occurred despite the large Palestinian police presence in the area.
