Arab media reported on the Givati soldiers’ mutiny at Sde Teiman base. The Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar, which is affiliated with Hezbollah, wrote: ‘Mutiny in the enemy army – dozens of soldiers leave military base.’ Qatar’s Al Jazeera published images of the weapons left behind alongside quotes from Israeli media: ‘Soldiers in a combat battalion left their military base a short time ago without authorization from their commanders.’ Iran’s Tasnim news agency also reported on the incident, writing that ‘several Israeli soldiers at Sde Teiman base laid down their weapons and left the base after a conflict with the battalion commander. The military described the soldiers’ actions as unexpected.’ Videos from the base were also circulated in Syrian media.
