An IDF officer was killed by friendly fire late last night along the northern Gaza border, an army spokesperson has confirmed.
According to reports, Capt. Tal Nahman, 21, was commanding forces near the border when he was mistaken for a terrorist by Givati soldiers - an infantry brigade of the IDF.
Thought to be a suspicious figure, Mr Nahman was shot and killed on sight.
The IDF said in a statement that the “misidentified weapon discharge” was being investigated and that Mr Nahman’s family had been notified.
