Four IDF soldiers from the Givati ​​Brigade were indicted by the Military Advocate General Sunday for growing marijuana plants in the Julis base near Kiryat Malachi.

The soldiers were brought in for questioning after a senior officer touring the base discovered the plants outside an army barracks window.

The prosecution decided not to file additional charges against the soldiers for trade and use of illegal drugs due to lack of sufficient evidence.
