GAZA, July 15 (Xinhua) -- Two Palestinians, a father and his son, were killed and one injured Sunday in an explosion that wrecked their house in western Gaza city, medics and security sources said.
The two who were killed in the explosion are Ahmad Hassan, 35 years old and his son, Lou'ai Hassan, 13 years old, according to Ayman Sahabani, chief of emergency in Shifa Hospital.
Police spokesman in Gaza, Ayman Batniji, said in a press statement that the police is investigating the circumstances of the explosion.
Initial police reports reveal that Ahmad Hassan is a member of al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, the armed wing of Fatah movement. The explosion might be a result of a technical mistake while Hassan was preparing a bomb in his house.
