Palestinian Car Swarm Watch
Two Palestinians were killed in a mysterious car explosion in Gaza today (work accident?) and this, of course, resulted in a car swarm—with the usual bizarre out-of-sync photo captions about Palestinians “inspecting” the blasted car:

The Jerusalem Post says this was a “secondary” explosion, triggered by an airstrike against terrorists that set off explosives being carried in a nearby car: IAF strike kills 3 Hamas members.
An eyewitness reported that the initial strike set off two secondary explosions, an indication that the vehicle was transporting explosives, and said that a large fire broke out at the scene.
