A 22-year-old soldier shot his girlfriend, another female companion, and then turned the weapon on himself Saturday near the entrance to an apartment building in northeastern Eilat.

All three were rushed to Yoseftal Hospital, with the male shooter listed in serious condition. Both women suffered light wounds.

Witnesses reported seeing the soldier, a resident of the moshav "Ivim" near Sderot, with the two women, both in their twenties, standing in the front yard of the "Migdalei Eilat" building, where they were heard arguing loudly. In the midst of the shouting, the soldier cocked his rifle, aimed it at his girlfriend, and fired a shot, wounding her in the hand. The other woman absorbed a bullet into her foot.
