| 2008-06-30 |
| Ma'an – Two homemade bombs exploded in front of shops in the Az-Zawiya market in the centre of Gaza city on Saturday night. No casualties have been reported. The interior ministry of the Hamas-run de facto government said that explosions caused material damage, and that police opened an investigation into the incident. Spokesperson of the de facto interior ministry, Eyhab Al-Ghusein described the assaults along with three other assaults last week as attempts to spread security chaos in the streets of the Gaza Strip following what he said was a period of security and safety. Al-Ghusein said his Ministry would deal with such incidents "strictly." He said that his forces had arrested two people believed to be involved in other violent attacks in Gaza in recent weeks. On 16 June, a bomb destroyed a hairdresser's salon in the city of Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip. On 24 June a homemade bomb exploded outside the home of a prominent member of an armed faction known as the An-Nasser Salah Ad-Din Brigades. |
