One Palestinian militant was killed and three were wounded Monday night in a mysterious explosion in a car that drove west of Gaza city, eyewitnesses and medics said.

The witnesses said that four militants were riding in a minibus in Shatti refugee camp west of Gaza City when the explosion wrecked the bus.

Sources said that the dead militant was a member of Islamic Jihad (Holy War) and that the minibus was full of explosives which detonated due to technical problem

Gaza emergency chief Mo'aweya Hassanein confirmed the casualties, adding that the four were taken to Shifa Hospital in Gaza City.

The witnesses said that the minibus was driving near the mosque of Ibad el Rahma in the refugee camp, not far from the house of prime minister of the de facto Hamas government in the Gaza Strip, Ismail Haneyeh.

Hamas security sources in Gaza said the explosion was being investigated.

Witnesses said that the explosion occurred at the same time that Israeli F16 warplanes passed overhead.
