About 50 female soldiers who were recruited at the beginning of the week and assigned to surveillance duty refused to report for duty at the training base of the Border Protection Corps in the Aravah, Ynet reported. According to the report, some of them were detained and sentenced to military prison. The soldiers’ refusal comes in the wake of the disaster that befell the female surveillance soldiers on October 7th at the Nachal Oz base next to the Israeli-Gazan border. Fifteen soldiers and three officers were killed and six were taken hostage. The soldiers, who were unarmed, had repeatedly warned their superiors of ominous Hamas activities on the border but their warnings went unheeded and they paid for their commanders’ failures with their lives.
