Two Israeli commandos were lightly injured on Tuesday after an old grenade detonated on a military base near Jerusalem during a training exercise. The soldiers — both of the elite Duvdevan unit which is noted for undercover operations in urban areas — sustained injuries from shrapnel sprayed at their hands and feet. They received initial treatment at the scene and were taken to Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem. A preliminary investigation into the incident indicates that one of the soldiers kicked the grenade which was laying on the ground, causing it to explode. Investigators believe the grenade was unrelated to the training exercise and slipped into a ditch in a previous drill. The grenade was not detected during a prescan troops were supposed to perform on the training ground prior to the drill and it remains unclear why the soldier kicked it.
