Sunday Gaza work accident: At least 40 injured, 6 houses destroyed

From Eye on the World: 

DIR-AL-BALLAH, Gaza, Aug. 2 (UPI) -- Israeli military officials denied an airstrike was responsible for an explosion at the Gaza home of a Hamas commander early Monday.

Palestinian media reports claimed an Israel air force jet fired a missile at the house; however, the Israeli army said there were no activities in the Gaza Strip at the time of the blast.

At least 40 Palestinians were injured.

An Israeli security official told Israel Radio the explosion may have been the result of a work accident, that a bomb being prepared blew up prematurely.

The force of the blast demolished the home of the Hamas commander identified as Alaa al-Danaf, and five other surrounding buildings in Dir al-Ballah in central Gaza, the Maan news agency said.

Danaf a senior member of the Hamas military wing is also a bomb expert [what the hell kind of an expert is that? -ed.], Palestinian media reports said.

Adham Abu Salmiyya, a medical service worker, told the news agency a missile was fired from an Israeli Air Force jet and hit the home.

the best story i ever heard about bombers was probably in the 90's. the Mussad rented a house behind the premier bomb makers house. they could look out the back window into his back yard and car port.

he was making a car bomb.. teaching a group of young future bomb makers the trade. they decided to go to lunch. the Mussad entered his back lot and put
C4/micro receiver in his portable telephone.. it was back when they were much larger.. when the group got back and went to work again they called him up.

he answered the phone and they vaporized his head in front of all his students.. I'm sure that made a real impression on them all. suddenly it was not such a glamorous job.
