Two killed by mysterious Gaza explosion

The Mysterious Explosion Brigade strikes again...
Gaza – Ma’an – Two Palestinian men were killed by an explosion in the town of Juhor Ad-Dik in the middle Gaza Strip on Saturday. The cause of the explosion near the Strip's eastern border is not known.
So is this an "unknown" explosion or a "mysterious" explosion? Could it even be an "ambiguous" explosion?
The Director of Ambulance and Emergency Services in the Palestinian Health Ministry, Muawiya Hassanein, identified the victims as Hikmat and Ahmad Nassar, residents of the Zaytoun neighborhood of Gaza City. The two were reported to be members of the armed wing of Hamas, the Al-Qassam Brigades, but Hamas has not confirmed this.
Hey, maybe they found some of that stuff the UN was looking for?
Medical sources at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in the town of Deir Al-Balah said the two bodies arrived torn to pieces, seemingly as a result of an explosion.
Whadda ya think, doc? Could the explosion have done this?
Could be, Mahmoud. Could be...

An Israeli military spokesperson said the army has no information about an explosion or any other incident along the border on Saturday morning.
Oh. Was that what that noise was?

#2  Send in CSI Gaza. They must have the world's largest database of body parts from mysterious explosions.

Or, most likely, just a work place accident?
Send in the OSHA investigators.
