Giant blast on Omar Al-Mokhtar, #Gaza City. This is the main shopping area, very busy! t.me/Palpost/104446…
Thank you to @WandererGalaxy1 for pointing it out to me.
@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. #Gazat.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 @Abualiexpresst.me/abualiexpress/…
@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. #Gazainstagram.com/p/CRn6yZRhPlQ/…
The nearby Al-Omari Mosque was thankfully only slightly impacted.

#PalestinianIslamicJihad#PIJ terror organization officially took responsibility for the explosion this morning in az-Zawiyeh Market in #Gaza City! Wow!
This is an admission they were storing weapons in the middle of the busiest market, right in the center of historic #Gaza City, a few meters from an ancient mosque! If it hadn't happened during Eid, when most shops were closed, the death toll would have been much higher.
For more info, here is my previous thread about the incident
3/ Nizar Banat's daughter left the mourning tent for her father to document the demonstrations protesting his death in Palestinian Authority custody. #Palestinians#Palestine t.me/pl24online/571…
1/ My parents were in their forties, and knew no Hebrew. They left their families and a warm, supportive community. So brave.
2/ This was the 1970's. The only contact was letters, which often took weeks to arrive. We were extremely lucky to get a phone after only 6 months, but calls abroad were very expensive.
3/ I'm so very grateful that they made the sacrifices they did, so we children could have a better, freer life.
1/ They lie to us that mainly women and children killed in #Gaza. But the truth is that the overwhelming majority were #HamasTerrorists. Here are some of them.
Tal Or Tissona t.me/ttalor/77 summarises our outstanding victory in operation "Guardian of the Walls". Google Translate 🤷♀️ but he's always, well worth the read. Just one note: it should be "Without endangering OUR soldiers in a ground offensive"

The main difference in this campaign compared to previous ones is that we went full force from the beginning, not gradually accelerating, which is a mistake when you have limited time. I'm told we had more achievements on the 1st day than in the whole 51 days in 2014,
with far less loss of lives on both sides as well. The goal was never to reconquer the hellhole of Gaza. The goal was not even to remove #Hamas, but to weaken, demoralize and humiliate it. And we did. The division of Hamas & Fatah is of strategic value to Israel.
