The IDF Military Prosecution announced on Wednesday that a commissioned officer at the rank of lieutenant was indicted.

According to the indictment, the officer is suspected of dealing drugs and removing a weapon from military possession. The indictment was submitted after an investigation by the IDF Military Police Investigations Unit.
