The IDF completed disciplinary proceedings against the four remaining soldiers involved in the mutiny in the Tzabar Battalion at Sde Teiman, the military said.
One of the soldiers was tried while on discharge leave at the end of his mandatory service.
Three soldiers who led the mutiny were sentenced to 30 days in military prison and will be removed from combat roles.
The soldier who was on discharge leave was sentenced to 20 days in military prison and will also be removed from combat duty.
Soldiers from Sde Teiman walk out following dispute with commanders
Hundreds of soldiers from the Givati Brigade’s Tzabar Battalion walked out of the Sde Teiman military base on Thursday following a dispute with senior commanders.
According to soldiers in the brigade, senior commanders decided to destroy and remove insignias that had been displayed in the battalion’s companies, with the battalion commander reportedly insisting that the insignias be removed despite opposition from the soldiers.
“One of the commanders used a five-kilogram hammer to destroy one of the insignias,” one of the people serving in the unit told Walla.
On Friday night, 14 soldiers identified as having led the walkout were sentenced to 30 days in military prison and removed from combat service. Two additional soldiers, also considered among the leaders of the incident, returned to the base only later that night and will face disciplinary proceedings at a later date.
The IDF opted for lighter disciplinary measures for 80 other soldiers who also left the base but later returned.
