Thanks for the clarification....
Hamas implicitly admitted on Friday that a massive house blast that killed seven of its fighters and a four-month-old baby in the Gaza Strip was not caused by Israeli forces.
"Members of the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades were trying to prepare for a Jihad operation," the Islamist movement's armed wing said in a statement.
It said six members of the brigades were killed in the blast in Beit Lahya. A local leader of the Hamas armed wing died of his wounds on Friday, one day after his four-month-old baby died in the explosion, a doctor at Shiffa hospital in Gaza City said.
There have been several cases in the past when militants accidentally set off deadly blasts while assembling makeshift explosive devices.
Hamas initially blamed Israeli armed forces, and militants fired dozens of rockets and mortar rounds at Israel in the hours following the explosion.
