@Abualiexpress reports 10 injured, 1 killed in the incident, which local media sources say was the result of an explosion at a point for filling gas cylinders located under a 3-story building. No official response yet. #Gaza t.me/abualiexpress/…

The explosion was in the house of Amar Hassan Alkahoji. At least two of the injured (aged 16 and 50) are Al-Kahoji family. Luckily, most of a-Zawiyeh market was closed because of #EidAlAdha #Gaza

@Abualiexpress Before and after the blast. In the background you see the Al-Omari Mosque, also known as the Great Misque. It is the oldest mosque in Gaza and a tourust attraction, as is the market itself. The famous gold market is also close by.

More footage of the area of the blast with al-Omari Mosque in the background.

The moment of the secondary blast, A-Zawiyeh Market, this morning, caused by explosion of gas cylinders in a gas filling station under a building. #Gaza instagram.com/p/CRn6yZRhPlQ/…

The nearby Al-Omari Mosque was thankfully only slightly impacted.
