The explosion caused no casualties. The bombing occurred as part of the violent riots Hamas has led on Israel’s border since the end of March. Palestinians who join the riots attack soldiers with Molotov cocktails, firearms, and grenades. Another key feature of the riots are attempts to infiltrate Israel, ostensibly to attack soldiers and civilians on the Israeli side of the border. Infiltration attempts generally involve a combination of Hamas operatives and civilians, with the terror group making widespread use of human shields, some of whom are minors.Read WATCH: Hamas terrorists entering tunnel shaft get blown up by IDF airstrikePalestinians’ weapon of choice during the riots has remained airborne incendiary devices, which they have used to spark fires that have burned thousands of acres of Israeli farmland and nature preserves.
