Palestinian PM survives explosion in Gaza

The Palestinian prime minister has survived an explosion that targeted his convoy during a visit to the Gaza Strip, according to the Interior Ministry of the Palestinian National Authority.

Ramy Hamdallah was visiting Gaza on Tuesday in order to attend the inauguration of a wastewater treatment plant, and meet with officials.

“The attack on the prime minister’s convoy is an attack on the unity of the Palestinian people,” presidential spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeina said.

The PNA reported no injuries, however; Palestinian news agency Wafa said the bomb explosion left seven people injured.
