Unknown assailants torch Hamas official’s car

Unidentified assailants blew up the car of a Hamas security official in Gaza during the night, the interior ministry says, in a sign of increasing instability in the Palestinian territory.

“A home-made bomb damaged a car belonging to a military police officer which was parked in front of his house in Gaza City, without causing casualties,” Gaza interior ministry spokesman Iyad al-Buzum says in a statement.

Witnesses said the car belonged to Helmi Khalaf, administrative and financial manager of the Hamas-run military police.

It was unclear who carried out the alleged attack.
