Safety failure led to grenade blast — report
An initial IDF investigation into an incident in which a grenade exploded, killing two soldiers, has found the soldier holding the grenade failed to follow safety protocol, Haaretz reports.
According to the report, driver Hussam Taffash, who was carrying the grenade when it exploded, killing him and Shlomo Rundanow and injuring three others, did not properly secure the weapon in his vest.
However, investigators are still trying to figure out why Taffash, who was driving a jeep, ended up with the grenade on him.
