A query by Arutz-7 has led to the cessation of Sabbath work in an important IDF base. A sports hall is under construction in the Officers\' School, and soldiers there have complained that the work was continuing even on the Sabbath. The commander of the school refused to stop the work, claiming that the workers are non-Jews. Nor was the base\'s rabbi able to stop the work. Finally, after Arutz-7\'s Kobi Finkler turned to the IDF spokesman, the matter was investigated - and IDF Deputy Chief of Staff Maj.-Gen. Moshe Ya\'alon rebuked the base commander. The work will now be carried out only six days a week, and on the Sabbath will stop.
