Israeli military officials admitted that investigations have been launched, while the Zionist daily Yedioth Ahronoth hastily attributed the fire to a so-called “technical malfunction.”
This marks the second such mishap in recent days. Earlier, a blast struck an Israeli military base on Mount Hermon in the occupied Syrian Golan Heights. Zionist outlets claimed the explosion came from a “hand grenade,” leaving seven soldiers wounded — an account that regional observers have widely questioned.
Palestinian analyst Abdel Bari Atwan dismissed the Israeli version, writing that it was impossible for such a high number of casualties to result from the detonation of an old grenade.
He stressed that the occupying army has thousands of experts capable of neutralizing outdated ordnance, suggesting the official narrative conceals deeper problems within the ranks of the regime’s military.
