IDF says blast most likely result of car bomb that exploded prematurely.
Three Hamas operatives were killed this afternoon (Sunday) in an explosion that rocked their car while driving in the streets of Nablus, Palestinian sources reported.
The sources initially said that missiles fired from an IAF helicopter gunship had caused the blast. Later, they reported that the blast was a result of a premature detonation (widely known as a work accident). The IDF also said it had nothing to do with the blast and that it was most likely the result of a car bomb that exploded prematurely.
One of the terrorists killed has been identified as Saad Khutub - a former personal assistant and bodyguard of Hamas West Bank leader Sheik Jamal Mantzur, who was killed by IDF forces some three years ago.
The second fatality is Said Razal, a former operative of the Fatahs al-Aqsa Brigades who recently became a member of Hamas. The third Palestinian killed was Saad Nazal.
