Security analyst Yair Goldblatt posted on X that Arab channels are in ecstasies over the rebellion at the Sde Teiman base, where soldiers left the facility in protest, and warned that this development must be taken into account. Goldblatt's post, published Thursday afternoon, amplifies the significance of the incident as a matter of regional perception.
The Zioneer first reported at 13:54 Thursday that soldiers at the Sde Teiman military base had left the facility in an act of rebellion, chanting 'All officers jump!' The reports were unverified. Minutes later, at 13:54, The Zioneer reported that dozens of Givati Brigade soldiers were identified as having left the base in protest against the command staff. The IDF spokesperson confirmed that soldiers left the base in protest over the removal of tradition signs, but has not commented on further details. Goldblatt's warning follows these reports.
As The Zioneer reported on June 4, a call for a boycott of Channel 12 emerged over a video from the Sde Teiman detention facility, which organizers claimed slandered soldiers and spread a blood libel against the IDF. Additionally, an unverified report at 14:22 claimed that over 100 soldiers from the Tzabar battalion abandoned their weapons and left the base after their battalion commander broke metal morale signs. The Zioneer also reported on June 28 that Channel 12 complained to the IDF over a Haredi draft protest video, highlighting tensions between the broadcaster and the military.
All reports remain unverified by official IDF sources. The number of soldiers involved, the abandonment of weapons, and the specific circumstances of the protest have not been confirmed. The IDF has not issued a statement on Goldblatt's post.
