Overview
- The Military Prosecution filed an indictment charging a serving IDF major with aiding the enemy, bribery, and serious smuggling.
- Prosecutors say he cleared a lorry into Gaza on January 10, 2026 by driving a military vehicle ahead of it to bypass inspections.
- The truck allegedly carried mobile phones, laptops, routers, batteries, electric bicycles, and cigarettes worth millions of shekels.
- An Israeli civilian who drove the truck was indicted in a separate case, with investigators saying the officer abused his authority for profit.
- A joint probe by the Shin Bet, Military Police Investigations Division, Israel Police, and Tax Authority led to the charges, and security officials vowed zero tolerance for personnel who aid hostile groups such as Hamas.
