IDF denies Hamas official's claim that soldier was wounded by unexploded Israeli ordnance

The Israeli military has rejected claims from a Hamas official regarding the cause of an explosion in Rafah, southern Gaza, which wounded an officer. While Hamas asserted that the blast was the result of unexploded Israeli ordnance, the Israeli military maintains that it was caused by an explosive device planted by terror operatives. The army is currently investigating whether the device was recently placed or left from before the ceasefire. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has condemned the incident, describing it as a violation of the ceasefire and promising a response.
