8 Gazans Killed, 20 Wounded in Gaza Family Dispute
(Times of Israel) Khaled Abu Toameh - Eight Palestinians were killed and another 20 wounded "in an explosion at a home" in Gaza City on Thursday, the Hamas-run health ministry said. Police said a member of the Abu Assi clan deliberately set a gas canister on fire during a family quarrel, leading to the explosion which seriously damaged a two-story building. Sources in Gaza said a dispute over inheritance had erupted among members of the Abu Assi family. A few hours before the explosion, a violent altercation erupted between the main suspect and some of his family members. Eyewitnesses said they saw the suspect carrying gas cylinders near the house before the explosion.
