The Israeli army announced that a soldier was killed after one of his colleagues shot him at a security fence near the city of Tulkarm in the occupied West Bank on Monday.
The army said in a statement that they have launched an investigation into the circumstances of this “extraordinary” incident.
At first, the Israeli army announced before midnight that it was a shooting, but after half an hour it turned out that this was not an operation, but rather an incident involving friendly fire.
After the preliminary investigation, it turned out that the serviceman fired at his colleague, who was with him in the same place, since the injured serviceman left the place where he was, and his colleague accidentally shot him after he returned to the place as unnecessary. suspected him and shot him twice.
Other nearby targets who heard the shooting and reported it thought it was enemy fire, and after investigation I realized that this was not the case and ruled out that possibility.
Significantly, last night Hamas cheered what it called a “quality Tulkarm operation” before the Israeli army clarified that it was not gunfire but friendly fire.
