An Israeli cadet in a Combat Engineering Corps officers’ training course was seriously wounded in an apparent training accident in southern Israel earlier today, the Israel Defense Forces says.
According to the IDF’s initial probe, the cadet was crushed by the door of an armored personnel carrier (APC) at the Tzeelim training base. He was struck in the head and chest by the heavy door.
The IDF says the soldier was taken to the Soroka Hospital in Beersheba for treatment, and his family has been notified of his injury.
The incident is being investigated, the IDF adds.
