Three Givati soldiers sentenced to 10 days military prison for refusing to board APC with female paramedic

On August 30, 2026, three soldiers from the Givati Brigade, who are hesder yeshiva students, were sentenced by their battalion commander to 10 days in military prison. The soldiers had refused over the past weekend to board an APC (Namer) together with a female paramedic. The organization 'Women Warriors for the Sanctity of the Camp' (Nashim Lohmim LeMa'an Kedushat HaMahane) condemned the sentencing, stating that the progressive coercion agenda has reached a new moral low and calling it a disgrace and a mark of shame for the Chief of Staff and the Minister of Defense.
