Massive explosions rock Gaza, cause injuries

GAZA, Dec 22 (KUNA) -- Palestinian civilians were wounded Wednesday when massive explosions rocked Gaza.
Local radio stations reported that blasts occurred in a house in Sheikh Ridhwan neighborhood, in north Gaza.
Ambulances were immediately sent to control the fire at the severely damaged house, eye-witnesses said, adding that police circling the location started investigating the incident.
It was unknown whether the explosions were caused by Israeli raids or not.
Meanwhile, Palestinian properties and fishing boats were damaged by Israeli fire, local sources reported.
Israeli military boats target fishermen on semi-daily basis, claiming that Palestinians passed the three-mile limit set.
On Friday, a young Palestinian fisherman was killed after Israeli fire sent his boat to the bottom of Rafah's water, south of Gaza. (end) mtz.aia KUNA 221141 Dec 10NNNN
