Four female soldiers from the Bardelas Battalion were evacuated to a hospital in mild condition yesterday after a tear gas grenade was thrown during a training exercise.
The IDF has launched an investigation into the incident to determine the circumstances. Investigators are examining whether a tear gas grenade was mistakenly used instead of a stun grenade, or if it was thrown in violation of operational procedures.
Military officials stated that the incident should not have occurred and emphasized that a thorough probe is underway to draw conclusions and prevent similar safety failures during unit training in the future.
