An Israeli soldier sustained minor injuries in an operational accident in southern Lebanon on Sunday. The soldier was evacuated to a hospital for medical treatment, and his family has been notified. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) stated that the circumstances of the incident are under investigation.
The accident occurred just days after a serious operational mishap in southern Lebanon last Thursday, in which Captain Eliab Haim Tzfalamus, 21, from Haifa, was killed when an HMMWV vehicle overturned. Three other soldiers in the vehicle were lightly injured.
Following the fatal accident, the IDF is investigating suspected negligence by commanders in the 603rd Engineering Battalion and Brigade 7. Tzfalamus's family claims the force departed on the mission in a single HMMWV, contrary to orders requiring at least two vehicles to travel in Lebanon. They also allege the officer was trapped under the vehicle for 20 to 30 minutes and that communication system difficulties delayed the call for assistance.
