He is an official of the Fateh movement, headed by Palestinian President, Mahmoud Abbas.
Security sources in Gaza reported that a small explosive charge was placed in front of the home of Al-Bardaweel, and was apparently remotely detonated, causing excessive damage to his car and to the main door and windows of his home.
The sources added that Palestinian security officials and the police arrived at the scene and sealed the area in order to initiate an investigation into the attack.
Several weeks ago, a Fateh official, identified as Jamal Obeid, was shot and injured by gunmen in Rafah.
The Hamas-run police and security forces managed to apprehend the assailants who are reportedly members of the Fateh movement, and considered the incident as part of internal conflicts within the movement.
