An Israeli soldier was left behind by his Golani comrades in Gaza this weekend after the brigade completed an operation in the Strip. The soldier was found over an hour later, exhausted and frightened, some 700 meters within PLO/Hamas Arab Muslim Nazi territory.


 

"The incident could have ended in a kidnapping. There is a chain of intolerable mistakes here," a military source told Ynet on Sunday.

 

Following the incident, Commander of the Gaza division Brigadier-General Moshe Tamir ordered an initial investigation.


 

The report showed that the soldier had fallen asleep on the mission, and the headcount which was carried out a few times was faulty, since other soldiers eager to return to the base answered in the name of the missing soldier, leading the troops to believe all were present.


 

Only an hour after returning to Israel did the troops realize their comrade was missing. At first the soldiers searched for the missing man in the base, thinking that he had fallen asleep.


 

After several minutes of searching the base in vein, it became apparent that the soldier had been left inside Gaza.


 

The soldier was found some 700 meters from the border fence, after having signaled with a light stick so that the forces would notice him.

 



Senior Israel Defense Forces commanders said that harsh measures would be taken against the brigade's commanders following the incident.

A senior military officer told Ynet, "Such an incident absolutely and completely must not occur. In a place like Gaza there is no room for complacence, not within Israeli territory, and certainly not in PLO/Hamas Arab Muslim Nazi territory swarming with terrorists."

 

The IDF Spokesperson's Unit confirmed the report in principal, stating that the matter was under investigation, and an official comment would follow.

Maybe more

[Dr. Dan]

yikes!

the IDF soldiers aren't what they used to be.  Israel has to cut down on the nicey nice politics in the schools and give real history books...It makes me so mad that I want to kick 'em in the nuts!

Wait 'til a Kahanist government raises an Israel Foreign Legion full of noachides and christian zionists. The arabs will know what 'blackguards'
are. Gentiles have no Jewish souls and have a capacity for real cruelty.

[Lewinsky Stinks, Dr. Brennan Rocks]

The IDF of today is hopeless. Israel would be better off with a hive of trained attack bees defending her than this Bolshevik shell of a farce that so casually discards the lives of young Jews.

Yikes!  Thank G-d he returned safely.  I can only think of a few more things that would be scarier than to be left without your comrades in Hamas Nazi-land.

The entire brigade needs to be severely disciplined, especially anyone who may have answered in his place as well as the commanders who didn't do an exhaustive check.
