Fun fact: The term jihadi “work accident” was coined by Hamas.

Via INN:

Five Hamas terrorists were killed due to an explosion that occurred in a terror tunnel in Gaza on Thursday morning.

The explosion took place to the east of Gaza City, close to the security fence separating Israel and the Hamas-enclave of Gaza, according to Arab sources referenced by Yedioth Aharonoth.

Hamas reportedly initially denied that there were any injuries, and refused to explain what exactly occurred.

Eventually, Hamas told AFP that “five martyrs were killed in a resistance activity in Saghira neighborhood” in eastern Gaza City, without elaborating.

A local Arab security source was more forthright, telling AFP the “accidental explosion” happened “inside of an Al-Qassam Brigades tunnel, which collapsed on some 12 members.”

The “work accident” is anticipated to have been a case of Hamas terrorists clumsily detonating a bomb they were planning to plant on the security fence, an attack pattern that has been used regularly and recently.
