About 30 soldiers taking an officers' course have been stricken by the H1N1 swine flu virus. The cadets felt bad during an educational seminar in Jerusalem on Wednesday. The soldiers are suspected of infecting each other and additional personnel.
They were treated at one of the Israel Defense Forces' regional infirmaries and will be immunized against the virus. Their condition was described as good and they were sent to rest at the Jerusalem facility where they are staying.
