A Bedouin civilian employed by the IDF was killed Wednesday evening in an operational accident in the northern Gaza Strip, according to reports circulating on security channels. Raa'd Ibrahim Salama, from the Bedouin town of Hura in the Negev, died after a minaret collapsed onto his bulldozer during engineering work to level terrain in the Beit Lahia area.
As The Zioneer reported earlier on Wednesday at 16:11 Jerusalem, the initial details of the accident indicated the same circumstances. The current message confirms the incident and adds that Salama was a civilian IDF employee.
The IDF has not issued an official statement on the accident as of 20:06 Jerusalem. The circumstances — a minaret collapsing during ground-leveling operations — remain as reported by non-official sources. No other casualties were reported in the incident.
