Hamas claims responsibility for deadly blast in Gaza house
By The Associated Press
Tags: Hamas, Israel, IDF 

Hamas on Friday claimed responsibility for an explosion a day earlier in a house in northern Gaza that killed seven Palestinians, one of them an infant girl.

An announcement Friday on the official Web site of Hamas' military wing says the group's martyrs died while putting the final touches on a plan to carry out a special holy war mission.

Five militants were among those who died in the explosion that flattened the house Thursday.

Immediately after the blast, Hamas blamed Israel, and militants in Gaza launched a barrage of rockets and mortar shells at the western Negev in apparent response. But Israel denied involvement and said explosion was caused while militants were making bombs.

The militant group later suggested the explosion was accidental. Friday's
statement was the first explicit acknowledgment that the blast was caused by explosives in the house.

Hamas has controlled Gaza for one year and its militants regularly clash with Israel Defense Forces troops.
