A powerful blast went off in the house of a senior Islamic Jihad operative Friday, killing at least five people and wounding 40, medics and Hamas said.
Witnesses said the three-story home of Ayman Atallah Fayed had completely collapsed, and that six nearby home were also badly damaged. The blast went off Friday evening in Fayed's house in the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza.
Islamic Jihad said Israel targeted the house in an air strike, but Hamas said the cause of the blast was not clear. The IDF said it had no knowledge of any strike on Bureij.
Aw, that’s a shame.

Somebody please notify the State Dept. Training replacement Jihadis is not a cheap endeavor. Dr. Rice should immediately contact Abbas and inquire as to how much she should force Israel to reimburse the innocent freedom fighters.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - A powerful blast went off in the house of a senior Islamic Jihad activist Friday, killing him, his wife and daughter, along with three neighbors, medics and an Islamic Jihad spokesman said.
Islamic Jihad claimed Israeli warplanes struck the home of Ayman Atallah Fayed. Israel denied it had launched any airstrike in the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza where Fayed lived. Hamas police said the cause of the blast was not clear.
Witnesses reported seeing fragments of what looked like locally produced rockets at the scene, suggesting the house may have been used to store arms.
Islamic Jihad said Fayed was among the dead, and that the group would carry out reprisal attacks against Israel.
Fayed was a senior member of the Islamic Jihad military wing. Israel routinely targets top militants in airstrikes but Israel denied any such strike on Friday.
The three-story house was flattened by the blast and six nearby homes were badly damaged, witnesses said. At least 40 people were hurt, including 12 who were in critical condition
I think thier finding it hard to recruit suicide bombers and bomb makers that have a brain bigger than a turd!
Spontaneous human combustion. Poof, there goes another one.
My guess is work accident or a rival Moooslimb faction planted the bomb
LOL! My favorite mnemonic!
Thanks for the ping! My first thought is if available look at a pic of the damage to the building and to the surrounding six buildings, might help narrow down possible causes of the blast.
