Blast in security forces compound kills two, injures four. Shelling in north Gaza injures children.
2 May 2006
No different from yesterday's situation -- the same as usual.
Two people have been killed and four others were injured in a blast at a security forces compound in northern Gaza.
It is not yet clear what caused the explosion which destroyed a building and killed two people. Ambulances arrived on the scene to take the injured and the bodies of the dead. A Palestinian interior ministry spokesman said the explosion in a compound in the Jabaliya refugee camp could have been caused by artillery fire from Israel.
A man mournes the death of his brother, a Palestinian security officer.
"We have suspicions that it was an Israeli shell but an investigation is underway to determine the circumstances of the explosion," Khaled Abu Hilal said today.
Another suggestion -- though unconfirmed -- was that the blast may have been caused by unexploded Israeli artillery shells, which were being stored in preparation for their destruction.
In the north of Gaza, 8 Palestinians were injured as well by the artillery shelling which caused damage throughout the area. Most of the injured are children under the age of 15 as well as a 50 year old woman named Intisar Abu Audeh, who was injured along with three of her children while they were inside their house.
The lives of Palestinian people are so cheap here. It seems as though Palestinian people have no right to live while the United States and Europe boycott and punish Palestinians for their democratic choice. And here again, we would still call it the democratic US and Europe?
