An IDF officer was injured Tuesday afternoon in a training accident at the Tze'elim base in southern Israel. The officer was evacuated by helicopter for medical treatment at Soroka Hospital. The circumstances of the incident are under investigation.
Just a week ago, Sergeant Or Israelov, an IDF soldier, was killed by bilateral gunfire during an exercise at the 202nd Battalion's Shomra Paratroopers Hospital. The incident occurred during a departmental exercise on the second day of War Week training. A rifle force accidentally hit the flag of another force about 250 meters away. According to a preliminary investigation, the flag was properly marked with the defined type of flashlight - a white flashlight. A battalion sergeant and company commander also participated in the exercise, who were the senior figures in the exercise.
