Blast kills Hamas commander
An explosion near the West Bank town of Nablus has killed a commander of the Palestinian militant group wanted for attacks on Israelis. Local residents said they believed an Israeli rocket had hit the building where 28-year-old Amin Menzalawi was hiding. But Palestinian firefighters reportedly said the blast had come from inside the flat in the village of Zawata. Sounds like another "work accident". Israeli military sources said they had no connection to the explosion. "Wasn't us." The man killed in Zawata was a member of Hamas's armed wing who had been on the run from Israel for two years. Palestinian and Hamas sources say he was killed by Israeli soldiers who had imposed a curfew on the village on Wednesday morning before opening fire on his flat. Israeli forces have killed scores of Palestinian militants during the current uprising. Dozens of militant bombers have also been blown up by their own devices while preparing for attacks.
