The explosion near the Rafah city checkpoint in Egypt, where ongoing protests are occurring, has been reported by Bild. ZLM reports confirm that an Egyptian civilian lost their life as a result. Israeli authorities have stated that the incident is linked to the ongoing conflict and its connection with Cairo. Yedioth Ahronot, an Israeli newspaper, has reported that Egyptians responded to the Israelis by setting the Rafah checkpoint on fire, prompting Israeli security forces to retaliate with gunfire. The checkpoint has remained closed since May’s commencement, when Israel enforced a border closure.
