There has been a large explosion at the offices of Arabic satellite channel al-Arabiya in Gaza city. No one was hurt in the blast, because the 8-storey building, which is also shared by local broadcaster MBC, was empty at the time

It is not clear who is responsible for the explosion.  But al-Arabiya has recently come under criticism from Hamas and journalists from the news channel have reportedly received death threats.
