A number of Arab Bedouin soldiers were involved in a brawl inside Givati Infantry Brigade’s training base, resulting in the injury of 21 Israeli soldiers.
Eyewitnesses said that a miracle prevented deaths among the soldiers because some used their weapons and fired extensively in the air.
Media sources in Tel Aviv revealed that the incident occurred Sunday at the Givati base near the border with Egypt’s Sinai, and started between individual soldiers, then became a scuffle involving two entire divisions.
The tussle broke out between soldiers from the Bedouin 585th reconnaissance unit and the Shaked Battalion’s training company. Officers from both units were involved.
The parties exchanged insults, then attacked each other with batons and rocks, and threatened to use live ammunition. Some soldiers even fired bullets in the air.
