An IDF artillery shell was mistakenly fired into Israeli territory near the northern border last Friday, apparently due to an error in entering coordinates. No casualties or damage occurred. As soon as the error was discovered, firing from the battery was halted pending the investigation. A preliminary investigation by the commander of the 91st Division and the Ground Forces found that the crew had entered incorrect coordinates. The investigation's findings will be presented tomorrow to the Northern Command chief, and command measures against those involved are expected, though it is not yet clear if they will include dismissals. The IDF spokesperson stated that the incident is under investigation and that professional and command measures will be taken.
