A nine-year-old girl in Gaza was killed Tuesday in an explosion that ripped apart a home in the town of Khan Younis.
IDF international media spokesperson Lt. Col. Richard Hecht said in a statement posted to Twitter the explosion was caused by weapons that were stored in an unsafe manner in the home of a terrorist.
Another tragedy in the Gaza Strip today.
Weapons stored unsafely in the house of a member of a Palestinian terrorist group exploded and killed a young child in the vicinity.
