Israeli police arrested an IDF soldier and a 14-year-old minor on Thursday evening on suspicion of a shooting in Kafr Kanna, a town in the Lower Galilee. As The Zioneer reported earlier, the shooting occurred near the town's industrial area. Police located an M16 rifle in the soldier's vehicle, which was confirmed as his personal service weapon. The two were taken for questioning, and Military Police (Metzach) investigators were called to the scene. The involvement of the Military Police suggests the investigation will examine the soldier's use of his service weapon outside of military duty. No further details have been released.
