An Israeli army officer is punished for participating in a political demonstration in uniform. It is the first of its kind in a judicial system crisis.
The officer appeared on television carrying a stretcher as part of a pro-government rally. He has been stripped of his duties by the army, which confirmed his rank in a statement. He is the latest in a series of high-profile figures to take part in a protest against a judicial amendment to the constitution. The amendment would limit the power of the Supreme Court to make rulings.
