A large explosion ripped through the home of the Palestinian Attorney General, Hussein Abu Assi, in Gaza City on Monday night. It caused serious damage, but no injuries were reportd.
The explosion ripped through the front of Abu Assi’s house, collapsing the front wall outside the house and destroying the main gate.
It is still unclear if Abu Assi was at home at the time of the blast. The Palestinian police did not comment on the explosion. There was no claim of responsibility for the blast.
Abu Assi is the head of the Palestinian legal system in Gaza and the West Bank.
A source at the Palestinian Authority said that the explosion is linked to death sentences approved by Assi.
