Members of the Izz a-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, attend a memorial in the southern Gaza border town of Rafah on January 31, 2017.

A senior Hamas commander has died in what the group called an “accidental explosion” – basically, a “work accident.”

The Izz a-Din al-Qassam military wing of the region’s ruling Hamas terror organization said in a news release that Muhammad Walid al-Quqa was “setting something up” when the blast occurred.
