Soldier suspected of tipping off rightists

Military Police probing suspicions that serviceman stationed in Hebron Spatial Brigade shared sensitive information with right-wing activists

An IDF soldier stationed with the Hebron Spatial Brigade is suspected of leaking sensitive intelligence information to right-wing activists, Ynet learned on Monday.

 

The Military Police have questioned the soldier, who resides in a West Bank community and serves in a non-combative post. 

 

The IDF Spokesperson’s Unit offered the following response: "The matter is under Military Police investigation. Once the investigation is complete, the findings will be given to the Military Advocate General for review."

 

The greater Hebron area is no stranger to "price tag" acts by extreme right-wing elements.

 

Earlier Monday, Palestinian farmers from the West Bank village of Bitilu reported that their olive groves were vandalized.

 

The farmers said that they found Arabic flyers posted on their olive trees reading "This tree is now under Jewish ownership. Do not come near it."

 

Bitilu has been the scene of several "price tag" acts in the past.
