Overnight blast reported in Gaza City
[Ma'an] An explosion took place in the As-Sabra neighborhood of Gaza City on Monday night, witnesses said.

The blast was heard near the Al-Khidma Al-Amma Hospital and Al-Beit Al-Ahliyah, a local NGO.

The cause of the explosion was not immediately clear.
Spontaneous Palestinian Combustion, no doubt.
Old Fred joke:

"Geez, Mahmoud, this road sure is rough! What if this bomb goes off?"
"Don't worry, Achmed, I got another one just like it in the trunk!"
Police arrived in the area and began an investigation, the witnesses added.

The head of the emergency department of the Health Ministry in Gaza, Muawiyah Hassanein said no one was injured.

An Israeli military spokesman said he was not aware of any military activity in the area, and that there was no Israeli connection to the blast.
