Israel Defense Forces infantry brigade, Hill/Highland Brigade
The Times of Israel reports that the IDF has disciplined troops after a mass walkout by the Givati Brigade’s Tzabar Battalion. Soldiers left Sde Teiman after a battalion commander removed decor or signs, with footage showing protests and disordered equipment. Most have returned; a subset faces disciplinary action and on-base confinement as leadership vows a strict standard.
The Israel Defense Forces have downed a drone and struck Hezbollah infrastructure in southern Lebanon after a drone attack targeted troops in Nabatieh Ridge. The incidents prompt warnings near Arab Salim and Nabatieh as strikes continue and regional tensions rise amid ongoing ceasefire negotiations.
