IDF suspends general suspected of hoarding army equipment
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe head of the IDF’s Ground Forces suspends Brig. Gen. Mordechai Kahane for two weeks after he is suspected of amassing equipment in violation of army orders, the military says.
Maj. Gen. Kobi Barak makes the decision to suspend Kahane in light of the Military Police investigation into the allegation that “for an extended period of time, he received and possessed, improperly, military and civilian equipment,” the army says.
Kahane’s suspension was approved by IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot.
The investigation is ongoing and once it is completed, the military will decide what steps to take against the senior officer.
Until this point, the military had not been willing to identify the brigadier general by name.
