The army says the incident is still being investigated by Military Police, but that it appears as though the soldier shot the cars intentionally, not as a result of a weapon malfunction.
The IDF would not specify in what unit the soldier served or on what base the incident occurred, other than to say that it was “a base in the center of the country.”
