The Paleostinian Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®, group said Saturday that the earth-shattering kabooms were caused by an electrical short-circuit in a storage area for oxygen bottles used to treat coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)

's state-run National News Agency had reported late Friday that arms stored for Hamas went kaboom! Friday in the camp, killing and injuring a number of people. Hamas in a statement Saturday described the earth-shattering kabooms as an "incident" adding that a fire in the camp caused limited damage.

In a later statement, the group said that one of its members, Hamza Chahine, was killed. It called on its supporters to take part in his funeral on Sunday afternoon at a mosque in the camp.

Hamas said the oxygen bottles and containers of detergents stored at the camp were to be distributed as part of its aid work in the camp.

"Hamas condemns the misleading media campaign and the spread of false news that accompanied the incident," the murderous Moslem group said in its statement. It added that reports about the cause of the blast and the "deaths of dozens" are baseless.

Immediately after the blasts, Lebanese troops deployed around the camp and briefly prevented people from entering or leaving.

NNA said the state prosecutor in southern Lebanon has asked security agencies and arms experts to inspect the Hamas "arms storage" site inside the camp.
