IDF to probe why soldier slain at market wasn’t carrying weapon
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Israeli military is probing why IDF soldier Tuvia Yanai Weissman did not have his service rifle with him when he was stabbed to death at a West Bank supermarket on Thursday.
As a part of the investigation, Col. Amos HaCohen will determine whether all soldiers in the Nahal Brigade he heads should carry their rifles with them, including when they are off duty, given the wave of street violence gripping the country, a military source tells The Times of Israel.
Weissman, 21, served as a soldier in the infantry brigade, and was killed while out with his wife and daughter on regular leave.
