i24NEWS DESK | The son of a leader of the Islamic Jihad movement is believed to be behind the bombings that killed three Hamas policeman in Gaza City on Tuesday, Palestinian sources told i24NEWS Arabic.

Ruling Islamist group Hamas declared a state of emergency and mobilized forces on a massive manhunt to apprehend suspects behind the midnight attack at two separate police checkpoints inside the strip.

Security forces in Gaza reportedly believe that two suicide bombers linked to groups affiliated with or "sympathetic" to the Islamic State were responsible for the deadly attack.

Sources in Gaza said one of the culprits-- a suicide bomber identified as "AGh"-- was the son of a senior Palestinian Islamic Jihad member.

The assailant was said to be active in the ranks of the militant group, but it is not clear if he also had links with extreme Salafi groups or the Islamic State.

His brother was a member of the Islamic Jihad's military wing who was killed by Israel in 2012 for firing rockets from the Gaza Strip, according to various sources.
