Army general visits Gaza to check troop complaints of lack of food
Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian is The Times of Israel's military correspondent
After troops of the Golani Brigade operating in Gaza complained they were not receiving enough food due to kosher-for-Passover restrictions, the chief of the Technological and Logistics Directorate, Maj. Gen. Mishel Yanko, entered the Strip this morning to inspect the matter personally, the military says.
Yanko met with several units in Gaza “in order to ensure that the troops are receiving the necessary food and logistics response.”
The IDF says it has a 24/7 hotline running throughout Passover where soldiers can issue complaints regarding food.
Yesterday, reports emerged that Golani soldiers who are fighting in Rafah complained to their parents that they were only eating matza with chocolate spread and had not had a single hot meal in several days.
