The statement and the storm: The commander of the 82nd Armored Battalion in the 7th Brigade, Lt. Col. Ofir Caspi, who expressed himself politically and called for the establishment of settlements in Gaza, was summoned for an inquiry by the division commander and reprimanded by command for his statements today (Friday). After the conversation – he went back on his words and expressed regret.
The officer said, among other things, in an interview with reporters who entered the Strip: “The IDF needs to hold the territory, I think that if the settlements return here – we have won. If we kill Sinwar, we will not destroy Hamas, someone else will come. The solution is to return here, like the settlements in Israel It was only yesterday that it was learned that in the assignment discussion held under the chairmanship of the commander of the land arm, it was decided that Kaspi, who was wounded twice during the fighting, would be appointed as a team commander at the tactical command college.
The IDF stated that Kaspi was fighting in Khan Yunis and that his statement was made during a long conversation and a description of the battles and the war. They also added: “He understood the deviation from the norm and the statesmanship expected of him as an officer wearing a uniform.”
These things come exactly one week after the rebuke of the Chief of Staff Major General Herzi Halevi towards Brigadier General Dan Goldfuss following the speech of rebuke he delivered towards the politicians in which he said: “You must be worthy of us”.
