The IDF announces that a young woman who was seriously hurt after being hit by a car in central Israel earlier today was a soldier guarding the Tzrifin base.
The soldier in her 20s was taken to a nearby hospital. Police arrested two suspects at the scene, and said the incident is being investigated as a “traffic accident” rather than an intentional attack.
