Hamas vows payback for deadly Gaza explosion attributed to Israel

Hamas’s military wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, says it views Israel as responsible for the Saturday explosion in Gaza that killed six of its militants and that it intends to ensure that the Jewish state pays the price for the attack.

The military wing says in a statement that the blast occurred while its fighters were monitoring Israel’s “espionage system” in the Gaza Strip, adding that a “heavy price” will “inevitably” be paid for the attack.

The IDF said Saturday that it was unaware of the cause of blast and had nothing to do with the incident.
