An IDF soldier who was killed and seriously injured at a base in Jordan appears to have been shot dead by a weapon used in target use some time earlier.
The wounded soldier was found at around 10pm on Tuesday with companions in a rather secret place of the base.

He was lying on the ground initially suffering from head injuries believed to have been caused by stones thrown at him. Subsequent initial investigation revealed he had been hit by an IDF bullet.
The soldier was taken to Hadassah Medical Center, Ein Kerem in Jerusalem. He was rushed to surgery, where his wounds were found to have been caused by gunshot wounds.
His family were called and they went to the hospital.
The study showed that the medal was used for training by soldiers preparing for operational deployment in the Gaza Strip.

After the soldiers finished using the firing range, the commander of the plane fired their weapons and placed them close to the position of the company guard.
A commanding officer then picked up one of the weapons, and identified it at the scene where the soldier was walking with a companion in the base area of the clinic.
At that moment, he apparently fired a bullet and hit the soldier in the head, causing him to fall and lose consciousness.
Last week, an IDF soldier at a base in Modi’in district suffered a minor head injury from seeing a faulty weapon.
