Northern Gaza explosion: 1 Palestinian killed, 2 injured

A Palestinian man was killed and at least two others were injured on Monday in a mysterious explosion in the northern Gaza Strip.

Medical sources said to the local press that the three Palestinians — in what, so far, was reportedly a work accident — were taken to the Indonesian Hospital.

The al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad movement, identified the deceased as 30-year-old resistance fighter Mazin Mohammad Lolo from Shujaiyya neighborhood.

The statement referred to Lolo as “martyr who died on duty.”

The cause of the blast is until now unclear.
