GAZA (Reuters) - A car explosion near a Gaza mosque killed a top Palestinian militant on Friday, triggering gun battles in which three others died after fighters accused Palestinian security chiefs of collaborating with Israel.

Palestinian Health Minister Basim Naeem said 36 people were wounded in the fighting, including seven children. The violence followed a blast that killed Abu Youssef al-Quqa, a senior militant leader in the Popular Resistance Committees.

Israel denied any involvement in the killing.

The surge of Gaza violence came a day after a Palestinian suicide bomber killed four Israelis in the West Bank.
