A reservist who called for mutiny in a video circulated on social media is being interrogated by the Military Police, the IDF says.

The investigation is ongoing, the military adds.

The video published Friday showed an armed and masked infantryman vowing to refuse Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi’s orders and asserting that soldiers will only listen to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, if the government doesn’t pursue “complete victory” over Hamas.
