The zionist officers were shot dead by the soldier who mistook them for Palestinian fighters after the two fired warning shots towards a figure spotted while on patrol during a night-time exercise.

“Overnight, 2 officers were killed during a security patrol near a military base in the Jordan Valley. The officers were misidentified and mistakenly killed by friendly fire,” the zionist occupation forces said on Twitter.

The slain officers were identified as 28-year-old Maj. Ofek Aharon and 26-year-old Maj. Itamar Elharar. (ILKHA)
