Local sources reported that masked gunmen arrived at the coffee shop and then forced the owner, his brother and a worker who were at the place out of the shop and started to beat them up. The sources added that the gunmen threatened to kill the owner.
The gunmen left shortly after burning the shop. Witnesses told media that Palestinian police arrived at the location and started an investigation.
A number of such attacks were reported last year all over the Gaza strip, groups like the Islamic army have announced responsibility for some of last years attacks.
