Two Israeli soldiers were injured, one of them seriously, when a Hizbullah anti-tank rocket they were testing exploded prematurely on Tuesday, the army and press reported.
The missile, found during Israel's 2006 summer war with Hizbullah, exploded at a base south of Tel Aviv because of a fault in the launcher, the Yediot Aharonot newspaper reported.
Israeli tanks, particularly the Merkava III and IV, are well protected against anti-tank missiles. However, a number of them were knocked out by Hizbullah fire during the 34-day war, and the army is investigating ways to improve their defenses.(AFP) |
