IDF cancels troop leave due to wildfires
IDF soldiers in training and in combat units will not be able to go on leave, in the event they are needed to assist the country’s other security and emergency services with the rash of wildfires sweeping across the country, the army says.
This situation will continue “until new orders are given,” the IDF adds.
