News Brief

(IsraelNN.com) The two IDF soldiers who were wounded at an army base Monday were working with weapons captured from Hizbullah during the Second Lebanon War. One of the soldiers was an officer, who lost his arm in the blast, and the other was a non-commissioned officer, who suffered moderate injuries.

A rocket-propelled grenade apparently exploded in the area where they were working. A helicopter flew the soldiers from the Rishon LeTzion base, south of Tel Aviv, to the Sheba Medical Center in Tel Aviv.
