The IDF has removed a group of reservists from their duties in the Gaza Strip following the emergence of a video. The footage, which surfaced online, shows the soldiers firing their weapons into the air during a Megillah reading on Purim, when hearing the name Haman.

The incident reportedly took place amidst the festive atmosphere of the holiday, but the IDF deemed the behavior a violation of military protocol and safety standards. An investigation is underway, and the reservists involved have been withdrawn from operational activity pending further review.
