An officer serving in the IDF's Civil Administration was sentenced on Wednesday to 11 years in prison for serious crimes including sexual offenses, accepting bribes and deviating from his authority in a manner that endangered national security. The military court in Jaffa also stripped him of his ranks and expelled him from the IDF. A court order has barred publication of the man's identity and the details of his crimes.
