But Hamas now says the militants, including two commanders, were killed “dismantling booby-trapped spying equipment planted by Israel during the past decade in Gaza”. Israeli officials have denied the allegation and a spokesperson for the Israeli military said:

Saturday’s blast follows weeks of protests along the Israeli-Gaza border as part of the Great March of Return movement.
An explosion in Deir al-Balah, Gaza, kills six Palestinians. Hamas and the Israel Defense Forces both deny responsibility and blame each other for the blast.
