The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has initiated a 12-day operation aimed at recovering stolen military equipment, with no identification or prosecution expected for those returning the items. This initiative comes in the wake of a recent theft of a Humvee from the Julis base and estimates from military sources suggesting approximately ten Humvees have gone missing since the start of the war. Investigations reveal that the Julis incident is not an isolated case, with around ten Humvee jeeps reportedly stolen or disappeared since the "Swords of Iron" war began. Many of these thefts occurred early in the conflict, with some taking place in 2024 while the IDF was heavily engaged in fighting across various fronts.
The IDF Spokesperson stated that the military is actively combating all forms of theft, particularly of heavy equipment and weaponry. When military equipment is suspected of being stolen, the Military Police initiate an investigation, depending on the specific circumstances. The spokesperson emphasized that these are individual incidents and the IDF does not perceive a widespread phenomenon of Humvee thefts. The only Humvee found missing in the past two years, according to the IDF, is the one related to the investigation opened last Thursday. The Military Police are committed to eradicating the theft of military equipment and prosecuting those involved if identified.
