The soldier involved in last night’s altercation with another troop in the northern Gaza Strip has been suspended from combat service, the military says.
He will remain suspended until the end of an investigation into the incident, during which another soldier was seriously wounded. Afterward, a decision will be made regarding his matter.
According to a preliminary probe, the soldier beat his comrade with a kettle, and hit him over the head with it, at an encampment in north Gaza. The circumstances are under investigation.
The Military Police has also launched a criminal investigation into the incident.
