IDF reservist soldiers on the border with Lebanon are compelled to enter Lebanese<\/a> territory, putting themselves at risk, despite not being eligible for benefits associated with the added risk, KAN News reported on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The soldiers had recently been ranked at ‘Tier B,” a step down from “Tier A,” which is given to soldiers who serve in particularly dangerous positions, including crossing the border, and provides various benefits.<\/p>\n

The soldiers, who serve under a medical unit, had their ranking shifted without explanation or a change in their operational duties, KAN reported.<\/p>\n

“We are constantly on high alert,” N., who serves in the unit, told KAN. “We cross the border to evacuate casualties and are under constant threat from drones<\/a> and UAVs. It’s insulting and shows that our lives are being disregarded.”<\/p>\n

On Thursday, KAN reported, the unit had evacuated wounded in Rosh Hanikra<\/a> while under warning of potential gunfire.<\/p>\n

An IDF<\/a> spokesperson claimed that the issue is under review.<\/p>\n

“As part of the process, the option of participation of these forces in activities that would allow them to be included in the tier is being considered,” the spokesperson stated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"IDF reservist soldiers on the border with Lebanon are compelled to enter Lebanese territory, putting themselves at risk,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":447108,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[1031,70669,85,46,56943,88,43,69828],"class_list":["post-447107","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-israel","tag-idf","tag-idf-reserves","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-israel-lebanon-border","tag-lebanon","tag-news","tag-reservists"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/447107","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=447107"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/447107\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/447108"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=447107"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=447107"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=447107"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
