Original Note:
False. A viral video shows what appears to be cans of food, but were cans for M603 igniter fuses used in landmines. They’re not designed to explode when opened & require significant pressure to detonate; unlikely that they could cause harm if mistaken for food cans (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Pn5A2EOVa8#:~:text=URL%3A%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D,100) (https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2024/feb/01/instagram-posts/no-viral-footage-doesnt-show-explosives-disguised/) (https://www.logicallyfacts.com/en/fact-check/false-israel-is-not-leaving-explosives-disguised-as-food-cans).
