IDF general suspected of illegally owning army gear
A brigadier general was questioned on Sunday on the suspicion that he had illegally amassed a collection of military gear, including weapons, the army says.
The equipment, which includes both tactical gear and civilian supplies, was kept in a large storage container. It was discovered as he was preparing to move offices.
At this stage, the army is not releasing the senior officer’s name.
“The investigation is ongoing,” an IDF spokesperson says.
It is unclear what will happen to the brigadier general if the allegations against him prove to be correct.
