Give me three guesses. Or on second thought, how about one.

On first glance, I thought the headline read, "...cause nuclear."

One dead in Gaza blast

Palestinian eyewitnesses: Four missiles fired at Gaza vehicle; IDF: It wasn't us
Ali Waked

A Gaza City explosion left one man dead and three others wounded Sunday afternoon.

Witnesses said they saw four missiles fired at a car traveling to a Hamas training camp, and claimed the explosion was the result of an aerial assault by Israel, but the IDF said it was not connected to the incident.

Muhammad Abd Aal, a member of the Popular Resistance Committees, (PRC) was killed in the explosion.

Official PA security sources have yet to provide their version of the incident.

Palestinian police said they were investigating the circumstances of the explosion, and added there was no sign the IDF was involved.

The IDF Spokesperson's Office said the explosion was likely caused by a Hamas work accident and that the army was not operating at all in the area during the time of the explosion.

History of work accidents

The PRC is made up of many former Fatah members but today identifies itself with the Islamist stream of Palestinian factions.

PRC members have enlisted themselves in Hamas' favor ahead of Wednesday's Palestinian elections.

The PRC is thought to be responsible for the second largest number of rocket attacks on Israel, after Hamas.

Meanwhile, in northern Gaza, the Air Force identified three Palestinians who attempted to cross the security fence.

An IAF helicopter fired at them, reportedly leaving a number of casualties at the scene. Their condition is unknown.

In the past, members of various Palestinian groups have been killed on several occasions due to 'work accidents.' Six months ago, a 21 year-old Hamas member was killed in such an explosion north of Gaza City. Two other Palestinians were injured in the explosion.

If it weren't for the fact that Israel can see everything that's going on with the idiots in Gaza, this wouldn't even be reported.

The military did not rule out the possibility that it was a work accident, and that a bomb in the car had exploded prematurely.

From the above article
Now here's how you use a border fence ---->>>

The army did confirm, however, firing missiles at three armed Palestinians spotted approaching the security fence south of the Karni crossing in northern Gaza.

The IDF identified hitting one of the men, and his condition was unclear.

It's too late for a do-over. I assume this is a "work accident" since the IDF is never shy about taking credit for its own work.

My first thought was a work accident.

But given the missile story and the pieces of missile that were picked up, my second thought is a factional dispute brought on by the Palestinian elections.

"firing missiles at three armed Palestinians.......The IDF identified hitting one of the men, and his condition was unclear"

Hit by a missile?...condition unclear? Getting hit by a missle would definitely rearrange your bitmap, making you really out of focus and very unclear.
