IDF officer dismissed for failing to intervene in attack
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAn IDF officer from the armored corps is relieved of his command for failing to intervene in a terror attack in Jerusalem.
The officer, from the storied 401st armored brigade, was dismissed for behavior unbecoming of an officer, the army says.
The officer, who is not named, was at the scene of the October 9 shooting attack near Ammunition Hill, in which two people were killed.
“The officer was dismissed because he didn’t engage the attacker, and acted contrary to what is expected from him as an officer,” the army says.
The gunman also wounded five other people. Three of the injured were shot and two others hurt after the terrorist plowed his car into theirs.
