AL-QUDS (Dispatches) – The Zionist regime’s army has admitted operational failures to a deadly gunfire incident near Egyptian border that left three Zionist troops dead.
An investigation launched by the army found that there was a gap in the security fence between the occupied territories and Egypt along with an imbalance in preparing the army units to deal with such situation versus the more common smuggling incidents.
The investigation suggested shortening the 12-hour shifts for troops as it is too long and could harm their readiness.
Last week, a 22-year-Egyptian gunman shot and killed three Zionist troops in two separate incidents while manning a guard post near the border between the occupied territories and Egypt, the military says.
Spokesman for the Israeli military Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari told reporters that two soldiers, one male and one female, began a guard shift together late on Friday at an army post.
After the soldiers did not answer calls on the radio, an officer reached the scene and discovered the pair lifeless.
Hours later, the third soldier was killed in a new exchange of gunfire in the area of the initial attack, as Zionist troops were searching for the suspected attacker.
A non-commissioned officer was lightly wounded during the clash with the attacker, the Israeli military said in a statement.
Hagari said the gunman, who was killed in the afternoon clash, was likely responsible for the deadly early morning attack.
But the regime’s narrative was that an officer-turned-terrorist infiltrated the occupied territories and killed two Zionist troops at a post and then a third soldier was killed in an exchange of fire with the attacker, who was also killed.
Following the attack, the occupying regime’s soldiers are refusing military services in the area, Walla news website revealed.
The soldiers, according to Walla, have several conditions, including the reduction of service hours from 12 to eight.
According to the Walla report, the soldiers said that they were unable to perform such long shifts under poor weather conditions.
Rabbis reported by Hebrew media saying that this incident proved that the mixed-gender brigade is useless, claiming that the male and female soldiers could not respond to the fire of the Egyptian soldier “due to the emotional situation they were involved in.”
