Ground Forces Commander Kobi Barak has issued a reprimand in disciplinary proceedings against Brigadier General Mordechai Kahane for inappropriate behavior, ahead of Kahane's leaving the Israel Defense Forces.
Kahane was disciplined for several offenses of inappropriate behavior, unlawful taking of equipment and non-compliance with military orders. He was found to have held military and civilian equipment on a very large scale for a long time, in contravention of military orders. An investigation also revealed that he acted improperly in the interfaces he had with civilian companies.
