The commander of the soldier who burned a Palestinian flag is sentenced to 20 days in jail and has his command position revoked following the incident, the army announces.
The soldier who torched the flag has been remanded to base for the next 28 days, the IDF adds.
The decision was made by the commander of the Kfir Brigade’s Nachshon Battalion, who held a court martial for the two combat soldiers after the incident.
