Channel 14 reports that hundreds of new recruits began their service in the IDF's Givati Brigade, as the unit continues to face the fallout from the mass walkout at Sde Teiman base. The report describes the enlistment as a 'spirit test' for the brigade.
Wednesday evening, Channel 14 reported that hundreds of new recruits began their journey in the Givati Brigade, the infantry unit that has been at the center of a storm in recent days. The report, framed as a 'spirit test' (מבחן הרוח), comes after the Sabra battalion's mass walkout at the Sde Teiman base last week, which led to the jailing of 14 soldiers and sparked protests. The enlistment is seen as a signal of resilience for the brigade, though the IDF has not commented on the report. No further details on the scope of the recruitment or the ceremony were provided.
