Ministry says IDF polluting the environment

The Environmental Protection Ministry accuses the IDF of polluting the environment, Israel Radio reports.

An official at the ministry, Yitzhak Ben David, says the military is ignoring the Environment Protection Law that has been in effect for four years, and that it must decide on environmental procedures for the security establishment.

Soldiers leave large amounts of trash in training areas. The ministry demanded that the security establishment present a protocol on avoiding damage to the environment within three weeks.
