On April 18, two explosions went off in Gaza City center, late Saturday, causing no injuries.

The first blast took place across from the Sousi building on al-Sanaa Street, while the second explosion was at the entrance of the Khalidi building opposite the Islamic University and next to the Attorney-General’s office.

The first blast was close to an office belonging to the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, although it is unclear whether that was the intended target.

Gaza has seen a series of violent incidents in recent months, the majority involving attacks on the property of Fatah officials in the Hamas-dominated region.
