Two Hamas Gaza Terrorists Blow Themselves Up Dismantling Unexploded Israeli Ordnance
Interior ministry spokesman Iyad al-Buzom said that two Palestinian resistance fighters were killed on Wednesday when an explosion occurred inside a military site in the central Gaza Strip. In a press release, Buzom explained that blast happened during the dismantling of Israeli unexploded ordnance. For its part, al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, said that two of its fighters died as they were working on dismantling a bomb remnant from the last Israeli aggression against Gaza. The Brigades mourned its fighters, Ahmed Abu Hasira and Osamah Janina, and said they died after a blessed life full of struggle and sacrifices, asking Allah Almighty to accept them as martyrs, bestow His mercy upon them and make His Paradise their eternal dwelling. Israeli media identify them as military engineers working on the explosives at a Hamas military base: Two people were killed after trying to defuse an unexploded IDF ordnance at a military base in Gaza, Israeli media reported. Ynet reports that the two killed were engineering members of Hamas’ military wing, who attempted to defuse the armament within the confines of the Hamas base. They almost certainly were trying to salvage the explosive for future use, as common Hamas practice as the L.A. Times reported recently: In a September documentary aired by the satellite news network Al Jazeera, rare footage showed Hamas militants reassembling Iranian rockets with ranges of up to 50 miles and warheads packed with 385 pounds of explosives. Hamas militants opened unexploded Israeli missiles from previous strikes to extract explosive materials. They even salvaged old water pipes to repurpose as missile bodies.
