Israeli military says cause of fire following Rafah strike 'still unclear'

An Israeli military spokesperson has said that the cause of the fire that erupted in a Rafah displacement camp as a result of an Israeli air strike is still unclear.

An internal investigation into Sunday's attack is ongoing.

According to the spokesperson, Israeli aircraft dropped two 17 kg bombs, claiming that the bombs were the smallest air munitions and incapable of causing a fire of that scale.

The spokesperson added that they were investigating the possibility that weapons stored in a nearby compound cause the fire.
