IDF officer jailed for filming female troops in bathroom

An IDF non-commissioned officer in the Northern Command has been sentenced to 10 months in prison for secretly filming female soldiers in restrooms and engaging in inappropriate conduct, according to a Channel 12 news report.

He reportedly used his access to restroom keys to record soldiers on at least six occasions and stored explicit material on his phone.

Additionally, the NCO is accused of assisting a female soldier in falsifying attendance records and forging medical documents to avoid base duties, the report states. Investigators say he maintained an improper relationship with her and also engaged in intimate conversations with other female soldiers.

According to Channel 12, the NCO’s punishment has been increased from seven to 10 months following an appeal by the military prosecution, which argued that the original ruling was too lenient.
