   A  Palestinian  Hamas police officer examines a destroyed car after an
   explosion in Gaza City, 3 Nov. 2010.

   Palestinians say a car exploded near Hamas police headquarters in Gaza
   City on Wednesday killing one person and wounding another.
   Hamas  authorities  say  an  Israeli  air  strike  caused  the blast.Â
   However, there has been no comment from the Israeli military.
   Israeli  media  said  the  blast  could  have  been  a  car bomb which
   detonated prematurely
   The  explosion  comes  during  a  period  of relative calm between the
   Palestinian-ruled  territory and Israel -- and between the rival Hamas
   and Fatah factions.

   Some information for this report was provided by AP, AFP and Reuters.
