Storm in Hebron: Soldiers and their parents furious at IDF conduct • Soldiers complain: "We brought spoiled food, we have stomach upset, food was on the floor, we shot everything" • And also: Soldiers stay 28 - the commanders leave home

A few days ago, Corona patients were diagnosed in the USSR. Since then, soldiers who came in contact with them for isolation have been brought in, but those soldiers have not received corona tests. In an examination with the IDF, they explain that only those who develop symptoms will be tested for corona. It is important to remember that quite a few carriers do not develop symptoms and can carry the virus, transmitting it to others without feeling the symptoms.

Soldiers who enlist in the army and do not keep their distance

In the IDF isolated all the soldiers who came in contact with them, but at the same time closed them in large groups of about eight in small rooms where they do not maintain the recommended distance. In conversation with soldiers and soldiers who are in the city, they say: "Bring us spoiled food, we suffer from stomach upset , The food was on the floor, we photographed everything. How could we not be distanced from it? How could it be considered isolation? It really is not isolation, it is a danger to the soul. It can very well be that there are carriers of the virus after several cases have already been discovered in the base, why not Tests for anyone close to patients? It can end very badly. "

At the same time, the parents and documentaries from the joint vetsap group were incorporated. The parents write that, "My girl at the base, she told me that someone had developed symptoms and would not let her see a doctor, only after she passed out from the base in the ambulance." Other parents wrote that their children were vomiting, suffering from abdominal pain due to "food left in the sun and not kept properly" according to them.

Pictures sent to us show how the food that is supposed to be refrigerated is scattered on the floor. The soldiers say that the commanders threaten that if they take pictures and pass on the information to the media, they will stand trial and some of the soldiers who suffer from gastrointestinal disorders will not see a doctor to treat them. While the soldiers who enlisted just a few weeks ago had already remained at the base for 28 days without the possibility of leaving home or receiving a shipment from home, the commander's staff was approved to leave home.

The IDF addresses the matter and says that the commanding staff can leave because they are traveling in a private vehicle and only meet with their family members. Who ensures that their family members do not carry the virus? The IDF's answer to this is: "There is no promise regarding the transmission of the virus, everyone Can be passed and everyone can also be tested, the IDF does as much as possible to keep his soldiers healthy. "

In contrast to the IDF's first response, we checked, and young officers in regular service left home today. The IDF made it clear that regular commanders had gone home to be with families, but now it turns out that young and senior officers and commanders regularly came home. They too will return to the base in a few days and it is unclear who is overseeing that they will not infect the virus during their stay at home and what the difference is in that regard between them and those soldiers who graduated a few days ago. The IDF is looking into things.

IDF response

The IDF said in response: "Over the past month, the training community has been working to maintain the routine of thousands of soldiers while adhering to the guidelines of the Medical Corps and the Ministry of Health. Like every year and to enable the preparation of kitchens for the Passover holiday, IDF servants are given a response on the basis of layouts and layouts. Regarding medical care claims - Any soldier who needs it can receive medical advice and treatment accordingly, you can contact the clinic or Call the Heart Center at * 6690. In addition, a soldier who has symptoms suggesting a suspicion of contracting the corona virus or who needs to undergo an examination can contact his commanders or the 'heartbeat' center.

"In order not to jeopardize the soldiers or their parents, parcel delivery was prohibited frontally, but the unit's servers will be able to receive parcels by military mail after Passover. Some permanent commanders are allowed to leave their homes on the weekends to enable them to assist their family.

The commanders travel in their private vehicles and spend some time with their nuclear family and at home, since the common areas have been identified as a focus for soldiers' gathering and deviation from the procedures, soldiers have been set to stay in confined spaces to avoid crowds. There are many actions to find creative solutions ranging from distance learning, delivery from the GSS to changes in classrooms, to prevent the spread of the Corona virus in the IDF as far as possible.
