An active-duty IDF soldier and an officer were seriously and moderately wounded, respectively, on Friday due to a grenade explosion in the village of Majdal Zoun in southern Lebanon. The incident occurred around 8:30 p.m. during operational activity by a unit from the Gefen Battalion, which comprises cadets from Bahad 1 (the Officers' School) and operates under Division 91. One soldier improperly threw a grenade, resulting in injuries to himself and another soldier present. Both were treated at the scene and evacuated to Rambam Hospital in Haifa. The IDF is investigating the soldier's throwing technique and whether the grenade struck an object after being thrown. In a separate incident on the same day in southern Lebanon, eight soldiers sustained light injuries in an operational road accident involving two vehicles. These soldiers were evacuated for medical treatment, and their families were notified. The circumstances of this second incident are also under investigation.
