IDF probe finds 2 soldiers injured in Gaza City on Saturday likely hit by Hamas rocket fire
Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian is The Times of Israel's military correspondent
An IDF investigation into the injury of two soldiers in Gaza City on Saturday has found that they were likely hit by Hamas rocket fire, and not a faulty tank shell as initially suspected.
Of the two troops of the 401st Armored Brigade’s 46th Battalion, one was seriously and one was lightly injured by the blast in an army encampment in the area of Gaza City’s eastern Daraj and Tuffah neighborhoods.
The investigation, led by the commander of the Jerusalem Brigade Col. Nir Ifergan, has determined “with a high likelihood” that the soldiers were hit by rocket fire aimed at the encampment, and not the explosion of a tank shell.
