2 IDF soldiers vacationing in Amsterdam rushed back to Israel amid arrest warrant concerns

Channel 12 reports that two IDF conscripts vacationing in Amsterdam were rushed back to Israel after pro-Palestinian groups got wind of their trip and were mobilizing to have arrest warrants submitted against the pair.

The network says this is the first time that conscripts have been faced with such a situation, with previous instances involving IDF reservists.

The two soldiers had posted photos on their social media accounts from their service in northern Gaza during the war, with some of the photos showing blindfolded Palestinian suspects — apparently illicit conduct.

The two soldiers also posted that they were heading to Amsterdam along with pictures from their trip while they were there.

Pro-Palestinian groups posted the soldiers’ information online and the pair were instructed by Israeli authorities to remain in their hotel room amid the unlikely event that arrest warrants would be submitted against them and the more likely concern that their safety was at risk, Channel 12 reports.

They were whisked back to Israel and have arrived safely.
