Seven Palestinians were wounded Sunday evening in an Israel Air Force strike that partially destroyed the house of a senior militant in the Gaza Strip, local militant group said.

The house belonged to Abu Haled Shigazi, of the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, who was allegedly behind a recent cross-border raid which left two Israeli civilians dead at a fuel depot in Nahal Oz, near the Gaza border.

Witnesses said Shigazi managed to escape without injury.

One of the casualties in the attack was seriously hurt and the others were sustained light to moderate wounds.

Earlier Sunday, at least three Hamas militants were killed and four wounded in an explosion in the Gaza Strip, the militant group and Palestinian medical workers said.

A source in the defense establishment said the incident was due to an internal Palestinian affair.

It was unclear what caused the blast in a house in the northern Gaza town of Jabaliya.

The owner of the building was identified as Hassan Al-Matuk, a member of Hamas' military wing Iz al-Din al-Qassam.

An Israel Defense Forces spokeswoman said she had no information about Israeli military activity in the area.

The blast came after the IDF carried out a series of raids in Gaza following a shooting attack by Palestinian terrorists Wednesday, in which two Israeli civilians were killed at a vital Gaza fuel terminal.

A total of 14 Palestinians were killed in the IDF operations in the coastal strip.
