Explosion rocks French Cultural Centre in Gaza

A powerful blast rocked the French Cultural Centre in Gaza City on Friday evening, marking the second time the facility was hit by an explosion in the past two months.

There were no reports of injuries, but the building was partly damaged, FRANCE 24’s Gallagher Fenwick reported, citing local and diplomatic sources.

“The outside facility has been damaged by an explosive device,” he said, adding that the attack was sending worrying signals to French authorities. Friday's blast was the second time in just two months that the centre had been struck by explosives.
