Gaza Training Blast Kills Palestinian Fighter
The Islamic Jihad militant group said on Monday that one of its fighters was killed and two wounded in an explosion during a training session in the northern Gaza Strip.
The armed wing of the Palestinian militant movement, the Al-Quds Brigades, said in a statement that 32-year-old Mazen Loulou was killed "while carrying out his combat duties".
Witnesses told AFP that the blast occurred on an Islamic Jihad base east of the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza.
The group prevented journalists from accessing the scene of the explosion.
