Four more IDF soldiers involved in Givati rebellion jailed and removed from combat duty
The IDF completed disciplinary hearings for Sayeret Battalion soldiers who left Sde Teiman after commanders removed unit symbols; 18 troops were jailed and about 80 others underwent a disciplinary program
Four additional soldiers of the Givati Brigade’s Tzabar Battalion have been sentenced to military prison and removed from combat duty, according to official reports. One of those tried was serving pre-discharge leave. The military trials concluded for the soldiers who participated in the Givati rebellion, which took place on Thursday.
The incident began when veteran soldiers protested against their commanders, who had removed signs and symbols they had hung. The soldiers chanted "all officers can s**k it" while leaving the Sde Teiman base. The battalion commander had already tried 14 of the soldiers, sentencing them to 30 days in military prison and removing them from combat service.
About 80 other soldiers were given lighter treatment and underwent a command and educational process. The incident gained attention on social media platforms, particularly X, where videos of the event were shared by Arabic-language accounts celebrating the revolt within the IDF.
