Army says 2 soldiers killed in July blast were ‘playing with grenade’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe military says an accidental grenade blast that killed two IDF soldiers in July was caused by the soldiers “playing with the grenade.”
The army is announcing the results of the investigation into the incident in which Sgt. Shlomo Rindenow, 20, and Staff Sgt. Hussam Tafesh, 24, were killed. Three other soldiers were wounded.
The soldiers’ battalion commander and platoon commander have both been reprimanded for the incident, while their company commander, who was released from service soon afterwards, has been barred from commanding troops in reserves for the next three years.
