GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — At least nine Palestinians were killed Thursday when a fire broke out at a busy market in central Gaza Strip, the health ministry said.
The flames that spread rapidly through the market at the Nusseirat refugee camp also injured 58 people, of them 14 were in critical condition, according to the ministry.
Investigations are underway to determine the cause of the fire, which burnt a bakery, several stores and dozens of stalls and vehicles.
With a population of nearly 2 million, the Gaza Strip is one of the world’s most densely populated areas. It’s a 360-square-kilometer (139-square-mile) corridor of land, sandwiched between Israel and Egypt. The two countries imposed a blockade on the territory when the militant Hamas group seized it in 2007.
The blockade, three devastating wars with Israel and dozens of skirmishes have damaged Gaza’s infrastructure.
Probably a work accident, They were assembling a rocket or an incendiary balloon and it ended not the way they planned.

AP continues its many-decades-long anti-Israel, anti-Jewish bias false information. Palestinian was a name taken only very reluctantly after many decades. It was appropriated only as one of the means of denying Israel’s existence.
AP couldn’t limit itself to reporting this tragedy without abusing its widespread influence. Thousands of news outlets use this AP story, including VIN.
AP just had to editorialize with false information designed to create sympathy for hundreds of thousands of overwhelmingly genocidal Arab Muslims.
It states the following:

Let me quickly rewrite this correctly.
Gaza’s population as of 2020 is 713,621.
After its election, Hamas began the war crime of bombing Israeli civilian population centers. It continues this regularly til this day while committing since its election in 2007 to eventually annihilate Israel as per Hamas’ charter.
Hamas’ & other Gazans’ ongoing shooting of missiles into Israeli civilian areas from Gaza civilian areas, which is a war crime, & the daily attacks on Israel launched next to the Gaza border caused Israel to very infrequently retaliate.
Legally & morally, all civilian casualties & damage to Gaza’s infrastructure is solely the complete fault of Hamas & any Gazans who participated in attacks on Israel.
