Gaza heat wave bad for bomb-makers

If you can't stand the heat, get out before the kitchen goes boom? From the AP:
[...] Early Monday, a huge blast leveled the house of a Hamas commander in the Deir el-Balah refugee camp in southern Gaza, wounding at least 32 people, according to Palestinian security officials . . .

Often there are accidental explosions in bomb factories. In the hours before this blast, Palestinian security officials said there were two other explosions elsewhere in Gaza, apparently caused by an intense heat wave detonating chemicals. [...]
