Overview

• 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.
