Two Palestinian fighters were killed and two others were hurt on Tuesday in a blast that ripped through a Hamas training camp in the central Gaza Strip, Hamas and medical officials said.
According to Reuters, a Palestinian security source said the explosion appeared to have been an accident involving explosives rather than an Israeli attack. Hamas also stopped short of blaming Israel. An Israeli military spokesman said the army was not aware of any Israeli involvement in the blast.
Meanwhile, Israel lifted on Tuesday a curfew it imposed last week on the Palestinian town of Nilin, where protests had erupted against Israel's West Bank barrier. "It was lifted early this morning," a military spokeswoman said. "The villagers promised not to protest and to keep the village quiet."
The curfew was clamped on Nilin on Friday after violence erupted during protests at a barrier construction site.
