Four IDF soldiers were injured — one seriously and three lightly — in a military-related vehicle accident along the Gaza border earlier Monday, the IDF said in a statement.

The soldiers, all from the Golani Brigade’s 13th Battalion, were evacuated to nearby hospitals for treatment, and their families have been notified.

According to the army, the troops were traveling in a Humvee that collided with an M-109 self-propelled howitzer on a road near the border.

An initial IDF investigation indicates that the crash was likely caused by poor visibility from heavy dust in the area. The circumstances of the incident remain under investigation.
