GAZA CITY (AFP) - Two Palestinian children aged two and 13 and a woman were killed on Saturday in an explosion of unknown origin affecting two houses in the southern Gaza Strip, witnesses and a medical source said. Six other people, including two children aged four and three, were injured in the blast that partly destroyed one home and damaged several neighbouring houses.
 

After the explosion at Khan Yunis the Israeli military said it knew of no operation by its forces there at the time. The Jews said they were probably making bombs.
