According to sources, the explosion occurred during a military activity on Mount Hermon, without specifying the nature of the mission.

The injured were taken to a hospital in Safed, in northern Israel, while the Tel Aviv military has not yet issued an official statement on the incident.

The explosion occurred in a context marked by the reinforcement of the Israeli military presence on Mount Hermon for more than six months, which demonstrates attempts to expand its control in this strategic area of the occupied Syrian Golan.

At the same time, an increase in settler activity seeking to establish new illegal settlements was reported.

The day before, Hebrew media reported that a force from the Israeli 210th Division thwarted an attempt to establish a settlement called Neve Habshan, after several families from the northern West Bank crossed the border fence near Alon Habshan.
