The Palestinian Health Ministry in the Gaza Strip has reported, on Tuesday evening, that two Palestinians were killed, and three were injured, in an explosion that took place west of Gaza city.

The Health Ministry stated that Salama Majed an-Nadim, 32, and Ala Ziad al-Gharabily, 32, were killed in the explosion, and two others, including a woman, were moderately injured.

An-Nadim was a Palestinian police officer, from the Zeitoun neighborhood in Gaza city.

Although the cause of the explosion remains unclear, it came shortly after the Israeli army fired missile into southern Gaza, in what it called retaliation to shells fired from the coastal region.

In addition, an explosion took place near a police roadblock on the Rashid street, south of Tal al-Hawa, west of Gaza city.

The Palestinian Interior Ministry in Gaza said its security forces are investigating the incidents to determine whether they were accidental explosions or due to an Israeli bombing.

Nevertheless, the Israeli army denied any relation with the bombing, and said it was not operating in the Gaza Strip when the explosion took place.
