2 Palestinians killed, 5 injured in mystery Gaza Strip explosion
2018-07-01
[IsraelTimes] Cause of blast in neighborhood of Shejaiya not yet known; Gazoo boy killed Friday buried amid calls for Dire Revenge; he was son of Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", terror commander

At least two Paleostinians were killed and five injured on Saturday evening in an kaboom in an apartment in the Gazoo City neighborhood of Shejaiya, according to the Hamas-run Gazoo health ministry.

The cause of the blast was not immediately known, but there were suggestions it was the result of mishandling of explosives.

Hadashot TV news reported that the family in whose home the kaboom occurred is affiliated with Fatah, Hamas’s Paleostinian rival, which was violently tossed by the terror group now ruling Gazoo in 2007.

By contrast, Haaretz reported that the apartment held firecrackers and other explosives, and cited a Paleostinian source as saying there were indications the alleged lab belonged to Hamas’s armed wing.

The paper also said the two Gazooks killed were 17-year-old Mouayed Hals and Dia al-Arar, also 17.

Earlier Saturday, Israeli firefighters battled five blazes sparked by incendiary devices flown toward Israeli communities from Gazoo.

Saturday’s fires come a day after the Hamas-run health ministry said two Paleostinians were killed Friday in violent demonstrations along the Gazoo Strip’s border with Israel. A 13-year-old was fatally shot in the head and a 24-year-old man died of gunshot wounds to his leg and abdomen, the ministry said.

According to some reports, the boy was shot while sabotaging the border fence. A paramedic told AP the teenager was throwing stones "very close to the fence" when he was shot. Reports from his funeral Saturday named him as Yasser Abu al-Naja, and said he was the son of senior "commander" in the Hamas terror group’s military wing. AFP put his age at 11. Thousands of Gazooks attended the funeral, with mourners demanding "Dire Revenge.”
Ynet adds:
Firefighting forces battled 24 blazes on Saturday caused by incendiary balloons and kites flown from Gazoo. All fires are under control.
