An unusual incident of violence in the army: A company commander with the rank of captain from the Nahal Brigade and his subordinate were suspended earlier this week for seven days, after a heated argument between the two ended in a violent brawl that included an exchange of punches and kicks.
The unusual incident took place earlier this week in one of the Nahal companies subordinate to the 188th Armored Brigade. Israel Hayom learned that the argument between the two developed shortly after the soldier returned to the company from a two-week term in military prison.
The incident ended without serious injuries. Following the incident, the two were suspended from their positions, and the MPIU also opened an investigation into the incident.
Last February, Golani's 51st Battalion Sergeant and Yehuda Brigade Sergeant were dismissed from their positions following a violent confrontation between soldiers at an outpost in Hebron.

In the same incident, command notes were recorded to the commander of the Judea Brigade, his liaison officer and the commander of Golani's 51st Battalion.
The IDF said in response: "Following an incident of violence between a commander and a soldier, a Military Police investigation has been opened, at the end of which the findings will be transferred to the MAG Corps for examination. The IDF views with severity any case of violence among its servants."
Attorney Avi Pinarsky and Attorney Adi Nesher, who represent the officer, said: "This is a respected officer who was attacked by a soldier, and is happy to cooperate with the investigation until the truth comes out and the soldier who attacked him is brought to justice."
