Hi,
We are not sure yet if he had died from an explosive device or from the ruins of the building the building they had entered that had collapsed at him. One thing is clear – they should not have been there in the right place.
Those ruins were clearly marked by Engineering Corps soldiers as dangerous – both from safety perspective and from operational perspective.
Form safety perspective – those ruins were not stable. The slabs of the building did not fall directly one on top the other, but fell in a way that created a close space. But that secondary static scheme was not stable. Someone who stayed that clearly understand it, and had supported the collapsed slab with scaffolding legs.
Someone who stayed there – What does it means?, you probably wonder to yourself. That is the second danger sign that this ruins are dangerous. That only person that may stay in those ruins is a Hamas terrorist. A terrorist that his purpose in staying there is to hit IDF soldiers – shooting, explosive device, RPG…
There was no reason to enter the place, and by making the wrong decision (against all clear reason) – One made an IDF soldier to die.
Take Care

The ruins of the building that was observed and marked as dangerous: from safety perspective (it might collapse) and from operational perspective (it was marked as a place used by Hamas terrorist, and might contain explosive device). Clearly marked as dangerous – and still the soldiers entered the place.
The inside of place. You can clearly observe in those ruins things that are not usually found on those places, that made the place to be marked as dangerous: from safety perspective – there are scaffolding legs that were placed to hold up the collapsed slab (they are clearly not enough) ;and from operational perspective – it is organized as some one stayed there (probably Hamas terrorist, waits to hit IDF soldiers and sneak in to the tunnels).
