The IDF soldier who was sentenced to 21 days in jail for yawning during a base memorial ceremony for Yitzchak Rabin has been released.

The soldier, Almog Omran, an airplane technician on the Ramat David Base, was released from jail after 10 days after he apologized to his superior officer for the incident. His mother said the move came 10 days too late, criticizing the army for such a harsh sentence for the minor disruption.
