An IDF soldier from the Combat Engineering Corps’ Yahalom Unit was abandoned within Gaza for over 40 minutes, Channel 13 reported on Thursday.
The incident happened on Tuesday when Yahalom was operating on tunnels in the Rafah area, when the unit exited the area without him.
For over 40 minutes, the soldier was entirely alone before finding a nearby group of Golani soldiers, the report noted.
