Four soldiers were lightly injured by a blast, apparently caused by an old Syrian grenade, during operations in southern Syria today, the IDF says.
The military says the troops were taken to a hospital for treatment.
According to an initial IDF probe, the soldiers had located weapons during an overnight operation in the Mount Hermon area. Among the weapons was an old grenade that exploded for unclear reasons.
The IDF says the operation in the area has been wrapped up, and the blast is being investigated.
