Two reservist soldiers were lightly wounded by an explosive device in the southern Gaza Strip earlier today, the military says.
According to the IDF, the bomb exploded while soldiers were working to clear the area of terror infrastructure.
They were taken to a hospital and their families were notified, the army says.
The IDF does not link the incident to the strike on top Hamas commander Raad Saad in Gaza City — which took place several hours later.
The military said the target of the strike “had been involved in efforts to restore and manufacture the group’s weapons,” but has not explicitly claimed that his actions are a violation of the truce.
