4 Killed in Gaza Garment District

The blast in the Gaza City neighborhood of Shajaiyeh destroyed a house where known Hamas members lived. Hamas charged that an Israeli missile hit the house, with a group spokesman, Munir al-Masri, accusing Israel of continuing its "dirty assassination policy, which gives us the right to respond and to defend ourselves."

Some residents said it was apparently a case of explosives in the house detonating prematurely as Hamas militants worked on a bomb. Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas called the explosion "regrettable" and said "security is investigating the cause."

Abbas added that he thought it was a terrible waste of explosives.
