Southern District IDF Officer resigns over affair with subordinate

It has come to light that Colonel "Aleph," an intelligence officer at the headquarters of the Southern Military District, was compelled to resign from his position due to a romantic involvement with a subordinate.

According to Srugim, the colonel initially cited "personal reasons" for his resignation, but the true cause later emerged.

It is underscored that this is not a criminal offense: the officers engaged in a romantic relationship by mutual consent.

Nonetheless, as such behavior contradicts the moral standards of the Israel Defense Forces, the colonel was obliged to step down from his position.
