At least four people were hurt in a series of explosions in the Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip on Wednesday.
Officials in the Hamas-run interior ministry in Gaza called the incident a “work accident,” according to local media.
The explosions occurred at a home in the densely populated camp.
The four wounded have not been identified and their condition was not immediately known. All were taken to a local hospital, according to Hamas’s Al-Aqsa television.
Local security forces sealed off the area.
