The Givati Brigade commander is conducting a series of field trials for fighters involved in the recent revolt, according to a report by Hillel Biton Rosen.

The commander of the Givati Brigade is currently conducting a series of field trials for soldiers involved in the revolt that broke out at the Sde Teiman base earlier this week, according to a report by Hillel Biton Rosen. So far, several fighters have been sentenced to 30 days in military prison and dismissed from combat duty, with the trials ongoing.
As The Zioneer reported earlier this evening, the brigade commander had already sentenced the protest organizers to 30 days in prison and dismissal from the brigade. The new report indicates the commander is now expanding the disciplinary proceedings to additional participants, suggesting a widening of accountability within the brigade.
The revolt, which began Thursday evening, saw dozens of soldiers abandon their posts in protest of the arrest of nine reservists for alleged abuse of a Palestinian detainee. The IDF has been grappling with the fallout, and the military leadership has emphasized that such conduct will not be tolerated.
