| Soldier beaten, rifle snatched as IDF base is infiltrated |
| 2008-10-19 |
| An Israel Defense Forces soldier was moderately wounded early Saturday after two individuals infiltrated the military base of Tzrifin near Tel Aviv. The soldier was rushed to Assaf Harofeh hospital after being severely beaten, and his M-16 rifle snatched. The perpetrators were apparently hiding behind a boulder in the dark, and managed to surprise the soldier without being noticed. IDF officials said the incident was probably of a criminal, rather than terrorist, nature. Israel Police, Military Police and Shin Bet Security Services have been searching the area, so far to no avail. |
