Soldier accidentally explodes tear gas grenade in general's office
A huge blast rocked the Tel Nof army base on Monday morning, with smoke coming out of Brigadier General Benny Zucker's office. Soldiers who rushed in to the general's office were astounded to find that the explosion was not the result of a terrorist infiltration of the base, but rather from a tear gas grenade set off by Zucker's secretary by accident.
The soldiers found the stunned secretary at her desk in a cloud of tear gas smoke. She explained that she thought it was a bottle of perfume, and wanted to smell it. "I pulled the pin out to open it", she said.
An IDF spokesman said "the soldier touched the grenade and thereby released the pin. We are checking the circumstances under which the grenade was stored".
