A loud explosion was heard in eastern Cairo (Heliopolis, New Cairo), hours before the Sharm el-Sheikh Gaza Summit attended by President Trump.

Witnesses reported a powerful blast and dust clouds.

Officials said it was non-malicious, likely from construction or monorail safety tests, not an attack.

Social media posts mentioned a military base explosion, but authorities insist it was a controlled or accidental event under investigation.

Israeli Defense Minister Katz:

Hamas's announcement about the expected return of 4 bodies today is a failure to meet commitments.

Any delay or deliberate avoidance will be considered a gross violation of the agreement and will be responded to accordingly.

Türkiye pressured to prevent Netanyahu’s presence at the Gaza peace summit.
