GAZA CITY (AFP) - Two Palestinians were seriously wounded after an explosion at the home of a local commander of the radical Islamic Jihad movement in the southern Gaza Strip, medical and security sources said.
The explosion, whose cause was not immediately known, went off at the home of Ahmed Al-Sheikh Khalil in the Rafah refugee camp.
Sources said that the two victims were both brothers of Khalil but the fate of the commander himself, a local leader of Jihad's armed wing, was not immediately known.
The overall military leader of Jihad's armed wing in Gaza, Bashir Al-Dibsh, was killed in an Israeli air strike in Gaza City on October 5.
