ISIS blamed for exploding seven Hamas, Islamic Jihad cars in Gaza

Seven cars belonging to Hamas and Islamic Jihad activists in Gaza exploded on Sunday morning in apparent car bombings that are being blamed on Islamic State militants.

A number of the cars exploded in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, considered a Hamas stronghold, Palestinian media reported.

Abu Hamar, a commander in Hamas' security forces in Gaza, blamed ISIS for the explosions and called for a Hamas reaction.

A photo reportedly taken near the scene of one of the explosions shows the Islamic State logo which may indicate that the group's militants took responsibility for the attack.
