Givati soldiers who left their base in protest of Amona evacuation convinced to return
None
Ten Givati Brigade soldiers, who were part of a reinforcement that arrived in Amona to help secure the area during the evacuation of the outpost, returned to their bases on Saturday night after initially leaving it in protest.
They were convinced by their commanders to return after receiving assurances that they will not take part in the actual evacuation—which will be done by police and Border Police—but only secure the area.
While the IDF has yet to decide whether to court martial the soldiers, officials in the military stressed the soldiers will not be tried for refusing an order.
