The Southern District Police say officers from the Netivot police station found an unexploded bomb at the entrance to Kibbutz Alumim this morning that they believe was left there by Hamas terrorists during the October 7, 2023, attack.
A spokesman says that, upon examining the bomb, police sappers concluded that it was Iranian-made and was likely left behind by Hamas terrorists during the October 7, 2023, onslaught in southern Israel.
A police bomb squad neutralized the explosive.
The incident comes after an unexploded bomb also thought to have been left behind by Hamas terrorists was discovered near the city of Netivot last month.
