Israeli tank crew killed in Gaza blast

An Israeli tank exploded killing its entire crew after it was hit by a massive explosion in the northern Gaza Strip earlier today.

The blast occurred just outside the Jewish settlement of Dugit.

Hamas's military wing, the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, has said its militants carried out the attack.

Hamas has spearheaded a 28-month-old Palestinian uprising against Israel for a state in Gaza and the West Bank.
