2 Israeli soldiers killed by friendly fire
The incident comes less than a week after two Israeli pilots were killed in a helicopter crash off Haifa.
Two Israel Defense Force officers were killed in a friendly fire accident near a base in the West Bank on Wednesday night, Israel’s military said.
Ofek Aharon, 28, and Itamar Elharar, 26, died after being shot by a third person they approached during a patrol outside the IDF base at Nabi Mussa on the Dead Sea around 11 p.m. Both were majors and company commanders.
