An Israeli soldier was killed at a military base in central Israel on Monday night by an accidental discharge, according to the Israel Defense Forces.
The soldier was identified as Cpl. Baruch Kabarta, 19, from Petah Tikvah. He served in the Military Police’s Erez Battalion, in the same company as Sgt. Noa Lazar, who was shot dead in a Palestinian terrorist attack in October.
Kabarta’s family has been notified, and Military Police have launched an investigation into the incident, the IDF said in a statement.
The findings will be transferred to the Military Advocate General’s Corps.
