A soldier killed his father in their Rishon Letzion home Thursday night while showing his family how he uses his gun.
The father, 50, had asked his 22-year-old son how he protects himself from being kidnapped, family members said. The Israel Defense Forces has received warnings of soldier kidnappings recently, and is in the midst of searching for a missing soldier who may have been kidnapped.
The son raised his gun to show his family how he uses it, at which point he, apparently accidentally, fired one shot that hit his father in the head, killing him immediately. The soldier serves in an elite unit and had two months left of army service.
The Rishon Letzion police have opened an investigation into the incident.
