ALBAWABA - Israeli army soldiers are walking out in the dozens from Sde Teiman military base in the Negev after a dispute with their commanders over military insignia.Soldiers of the Sabar Battalion of the Givati Brigade walked out of the base in droves without leave or authorization after a dispute they had with their commanders over military symbols.The dispute began when command staff started destroying and removing symbols displayed in the battalion’s dorms; when the soldiers opposed the move, commanders didn’t budge - leading to the soldiers walking out from the base en masse in protest.About 100 occupation army soldiers from the Givati Brigade abandoned their post at Sde Teiman and left their weapons behind after a dispute with their battalion commander. The battalion had just returned from Lebanon and was preparing for deployment in Gaza.
