#1 reports that only the engine blew, windshield intact witnesses: we didnt see nuthin, we just ASSUMED it was an Israeli missile, what with gunships there and all.
Possibilities
1. It was a genooine accident, just coincidence that Israelis were nearby. Call click n' clack, not All things distorted.
2. It was a premature bomb. Again a coincidence (not that wild a one - hell there are probably lots of times when Israeli gunships are patrolling Gaza, no?)
3. Israelis have some tech to remotely detonate Pal bombs?

#2 If the package blew up in their laps, I am not sure these Hamhocks will want to recover knowing their "package" also blew up. Nothing more embarrassing than to enter the heavenly whorehouse carrying their fruit-of-the-loins in a small box.

#4 Good picture of the car here. From the blast damage, it looks like the explosion took place in front of the engine almost on the front bumper which is cut in half. Looks like a missile strike that just missed, engine compartment shielded the passengers from the blast. Anyone planting a bomb would have put it under the car and they would have carried one in the trunk or in the passenger compartment. Go take a look.

#6 Television footage showed an oil spill extending about 30 meters (yards) behind the vehicle.

Sounds like a POS car blew up

#7 This is obviously a giant Zionist plot to force the noble Palestinian people to drive nothing but exploding cars.

#8 Sounds like maybe a Williams BMW mechanic was work on it.

#9 From the looks of the blast came from the engine compartment and not outside (likely from below). Notice that the windshield and other windows are cracked but not broken? The hood would have deflected the blast out the front and explains why the grill is missing. If it was a missile it went through the hood and exploded on the engine. I am guessing an RPG through the front grill or a small bomb in the engine compartment. Maybe a hit from a rival group or Mossad? I would spread either rumor around and make them think twice before they get in a car.

#10 Another interesting Gaza item

But he also faces growing calls for reform from within his own Fatah, a long-dominant nationalist movement whose decline has boosted the appeal of Islamic militant groups sworn to Israel's destruction.

Results so far in voting for Fatah district representatives in Gaza showed big gains for reformers.

A senior Fatah official backing reform said results showed a majority for followers of Gaza's reform-minded ex-security chief Mohammad Dahlan, who has often clashed with Arafat.

Some Fatah sources said Arafat -- still seen by many Palestinians as a symbol of the dream for statehood -- was dismayed by the Gaza results. They said he had tried to obstruct the organizers at the outset, but denied he had ordered a halt.

#11 Can I, too, blame the Zionist entity every time my car breaks down?

#12 Shipman, perhaps Takumo Sato was driving the car.
