Dozens of Soldiers Protest by Leaving Sde Teyman Base Without Permission

Dozens of soldiers from a combat battalion at the Sde Teyman base left the base in protest without their commanders' approval, according to an IDF spokesperson. The incident occurred following the battalion commander's decision to remove signs related to irregular events tied to the battalion's tradition of "young and old" soldiers. The IDF stated that the event is currently under investigation and being addressed by the commanders. The military emphasized that such actions contradict the IDF's values and expectations of its soldiers.
