An IDF reservist was killed and two others were wounded, including a senior officer in serious condition, after being hit by a roadside bomb in the West Bank overnight.
The slain soldier is named by the military as Sgt. First Class (res.) Eviatar Ben Yehuda, 31, of the Ephraim Regional Brigade’s 8211th Reserve Battalion, from Nitzan.
According to an initial IDF probe, the soldiers were in a David light armored vehicle during a patrol in the town of Tamun, when a bomb was detonated against their vehicle.
The explosion killed Ben Yehuda and seriously wounded the reservist battalion commander. Another soldier was moderately hurt.
