Israel’s military has jailed 18 soldiers and permanently removed them from combat duties after nearly 100 troops abandoned the Sde Teiman base in an extraordinary act of collective defiance. Four soldiers from the Givati Brigade’s Tzabar Battalion received the latest sentences: three were jailed for 30 days and another for 20. Fourteen previously identified organisers had already received 30-day prison terms. The confrontation began after a battalion commander destroyed decorative signs installed by soldiers, prompting troops to leave their weapons behind and walk out. Approximately 80 later returned and were confined to the base over the weekend. The IDF says the punishments are necessary to restore discipline. But the scale of the walkout reveals significant friction inside an army already strained by prolonged war, repeated deployments and disputes over military leadership.
