Gaza man dies in ‘accident’ in Islamic Jihad tunnel

The Gaza Health Ministry says a Palestinian was killed in an accident while working in a “military tunnel” used by Palestinian terror group Islamic Jihad.

The Hamas-run ministry says Ahmed Mayyat was killed and three others were injured, without elaborating.

Islamic Jihad says Mayyat was a local contractor hired to remove a bomb from the tunnel. Local media reports he also worked for several international aid organizations in Gaza on a freelance basis.
