(IsraelNN.com) The IDF combat engineer who refused orders to destroy structures near the beach side community of Shirat HaYam Sunday refused to stand trial before Brigade Commander of Northern Gaza Col. Avi Levi Sunday evening.
The soldier has exercised his right to request a trial before a military court rather than a commanding officer.
The soldier had his weapon taken away and was taken into custody when he yelled "A Jew does not expel a Jew" and refused to take part in the demolition, which aimed to prevent residents of Gush Katif from establishing an additional outpost."
