A makeshift bomb has reportedly destroyed a vehicle belonging to an official of the Hamas resistance movement in a Palestinian refugee camp in the Gaza Strip.

The bomb attack targeted the car of Sheikh Sami Hams in Nuseirat refugee camp south of Gaza City on Friday, according to an unnamed security source, AFP reported.

The attack, however, left no casualties, the source said, adding that an investigation has been launched into the incident.

No one has claimed responsibility for the attack yet.

According to eyewitness accounts, the blast totally destroyed the targeted vehicle.

The report added that the bombing was the latest in a series of unclaimed terrorist acts in the impoverished Gaza, which is still recovering from a massive Israeli war in July-August 2014. The war killed over 2,000 people, mostly civilians, and injured over 10,000 others.

On January 20, a bombing attack struck the car of the chief financial officer of the Hamas military police outside his residence.
