Three soldiers involved in the Givati Brigade rebellion were sentenced to 30 days imprisonment and dismissed from combat duty, according to reports. The sentencing follows the earlier discipline of four other soldiers in the same affair.
Three additional soldiers involved in the Givati Brigade rebellion were sentenced to 30 days imprisonment and dismissed from combat duty Tuesday morning, according to Israeli media reports. The development adds to the disciplinary actions already taken in the affair.
The Zioneer reported at 10:22 Jerusalem that the final four soldiers involved in the rebellion had been sentenced, with three leaders receiving 30 days imprisonment and a fourth soldier already on release leave receiving 20 days. That report, citing Israeli media, indicated that the sentencing concluded the disciplinary proceedings. An earlier report from N13 had placed the total number of disciplined soldiers from the Tzabar battalion at 18.
The new report indicates that the proceedings may not yet be complete. The identities of the three additional soldiers have not been released, and it remains unclear whether they are from the Tzabar battalion or other units within the Givati Brigade.
Official military confirmation of the additional sentences has not been received.
