Israeli Man Charged for Impersonating Soldier, Stealing Munitions in Gaza War

Roi Yifrah, who posed with Prime Minister Netanyahu on the front lines, faces up to 36 years in prison if convicted.

Roi Yifrah, an Israeli man, has been charged with impersonating a soldier to join the Gaza war and stealing munitions.
Yifrah was even pictured on the front lines with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, although an official confirmed Netanyahu was never at risk.
Yifrah posed as a member of an elite Shin Bet unit, a combat soldier, and a military sapper, facilitating his access to firearms, ammunition, and military and police equipment.
Yifrah's lawyer argues that he should be praised as a medic who saved lives under fire, while risking his own life and eliminating terrorists.
Four other suspects, including a police officer, were interrogated over the case and have been released to house arrest.
