The Israeli soldier killed in a tank accident last night in northern Israel is named as Eitan Fichman.
The 19-year-old from Beersheba has been posthumously promoted to the rank of sergeant.
Fichman, a loader in the 82nd Armored Corps Battalion, was found unconscious with a “severe head injury” inside a tank during the live fire drill in the Golan Heights.
He was later declared dead.
The military has opened an investigation into his death.
