ynet reports that the Givati Brigade will hold a roll call at 16:30 to check for absent soldiers, following reports of a rebellion within the unit. The roll call aims to determine the extent of absenteeism.
At 16:16 Jerusalem, new reports from ynet indicate that the Givati Brigade will hold a roll call at 16:30 to check for absent soldiers, following earlier reports of a rebellion within the unit. The roll call is the first reported official response from the brigade to the events that unfolded earlier today at the Sde Teiman base.
The incident began at approximately 13:54 Jerusalem, when unverified reports emerged that soldiers at the Sde Teiman military base had left the facility in protest, chanting 'All officers jump!' (The Zioneer, 13:54). Minutes later, dozens of soldiers from the Givati Brigade were reported to have left the base in protest against the command staff (The Zioneer, 13:54). Security analyst Yair Goldblatt noted that Arab channels were celebrating the reported rebellion, warning that the development must be taken into account (The Zioneer, 13:54). Arab sources also reported that the rebellion had begun (The Zioneer, 13:54). The reports culminated in accounts of a mass desertion following a dispute with a commander (The Zioneer, 13:54). All of these reports remain unverified by the IDF.
The Zioneer has been tracking this story since the first reports at 13:54. The roll call scheduled for 16:30 is expected to assess the extent of absenteeism. The IDF has not issued an official confirmation or denial of the reported rebellion or the mass desertion. The outcome of the roll call and the broader situation at the base remain unclear.
