Israeli occupation forces detonated a sound bomb inside a mosque during a raid on Bethlehem, Shehab Wire reported. The blast occurred as troops conducted an incursion into the city, with the explosive device set off within the religious building itself.
Sound bombs, also known as stun grenades, are typically used by military and security forces to disorient and disperse crowds during operations. The use of such devices in enclosed spaces, particularly within places of worship, can cause injury and alarm to those inside.
No immediate reports indicated the scale of casualties or property damage from the detonation. The stated objective or justification for the raid remained unclear at the time of reporting.
