An explosion killed a person and destroyed a house after nightfall Monday in Gaza City, residents said, and at least 21 people were injured, two critically.
It was not immediately clear what caused the blast in the Shajaiyeh neighborhood, near the border with Israel. The house belonged to a well-known family of Hamas supporters, the residents said.
Three nearby buildings were on fire, rescue workers said.
Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.

Huge explosion shakes Gaza City
A huge explosion has rocked the centre of Gaza City, killing at least four people and injuring 20 others.
It was not immediately clear what caused the blast that destroyed several properties in the eastern Shajaiyeh situated near the border with Israel.
One of the houses is understood to belong to a well-known family of Hamas supporters, Palestinian police said.
Israel completed the evacuation of all its Jewish settlements from the territory last month.
Tawfiq Abu Khoussa, a Palestinian interior ministry spokesman, called the blast "mysterious" and said an investigation was under way.
The Israeli military is scheduled to complete the pullout of its troops from Gaza by the end of September.
Hamas, which is dedicated to the destruction of the Jewish state, has vowed to continue its armed struggle against Israel.
Palestinian liberators hard at work. Keep up the good work boys.
Remember, technical knowledge is the tool of the Great Satan/Little Satan, and should not be used by terro-martyrs....
