Soldier jailed for selling stolen grenades

An IDF soldier is sentenced to 7.5 years in prison for smuggling stun grenades and smoke grenades from his base and selling them for NIS 250 ($65) apiece.

The soldier is also fined NIS 5,000 ($1,300), with the option of serving an additional five months instead of paying the fine, and is demoted.

According to the indictment, the soldier would steal some 8-10 grenades every few weeks over the course of a year and a half, amassing in total some 300 grenades.
