Khan Yunis disaster: Force thought it neutralized explosive device before blast occurred on upper floor

|
Initial investigation details reveal that the IDF force hit by an explosive device Friday morning in Khan Yunis had entered a booby-trapped building. The building was marked on maps as potentially suspicious, and the force took precautionary measures, identifying an object that appeared to be a barrel assessed as an explosive device. The IDF says the barrel was located on the first or second floor of the multi-story building. The force followed protocol and believed they had neutralized the explosive, but Hamas had placed explosives on a higher floor. It remains unclear whether the barrel was deliberately placed on a lower floor to mislead the soldiers.
