Four IDF soldiers were wounded, one seriously and three lightly, in a military-related car crash on the border with the Gaza Strip earlier today, the army announces.

The troops, from the Golani Brigade’s 13th Battalion, were taken to hospitals, and their families were notified, the IDF adds.

The Golani troops were inside a Humvee that crashed into a self-propelled M-109 howitzer on a road near the Strip’s border. The circumstances of the crash are under investigation by the army, but according to the IDF’s preliminary findings, low visibility due to dust in the air likely caused the accident.
