IDF soldier Sgt. Gavriel Chepitch, 21, from Zichron Ya’acov, was killed Monday night in a friendly-fire incident along the border with the Gaza Strip.
Chepitch, from the 77th Armored Battalion, was part of a military force near the Kissufim Crossing that apprehended three Palestinians who had allegedly succeeded in crossing the border into Israel. A force from the Golani Brigade was also alerted to the border and spotted a suspicious figure, whom the soldiers assumed was one of the infiltrators. The soldiers opened fire, killing Chepitch.

Damn.
Eternal rest...
