GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — The blast that rocked the southern side of the French Consulate’s Cultural Center in Gaza on Dec. 12 was not as powerful as the first one that occurred on Oct. 7, when two successive explosions destroyed the fuel depot used to power the electricity generator.
Al-Monitor examined the ground floor and saw the gaping hole in the back wall caused by an explosive charge placed outside the security enclosure. The surrounding land is vacant, and infiltrating the premises to place a charge by the wall is easy. One of the French Center’s employees described this location as the “weakest security point at the center.”
