’’Israel’s’’ New Scandal: Eisner to Train Battalions
On Friday, 4th May, "Israel's" channel 2 revealed that "Israeli" occupation army appointed Lt. Col. Eisner, who attacked a Danish ISM activist in the face with his rifle at the end of the confrontation on April 14, as a deputy commander of the Tactical Training Center in "Tze'elim".
In his new position, Eisner will be responsible for training battalions of infantry and armor in battlefield simulations.
A Hebrew-language newspaper reported that through a private conversation taped by a third part and was broadcasted on Channel 10, "Israeli" officers and students from the military school supported Eisner.
The "Israeli" Chief of Staff Benny Grantz who issued a decision to remove Eisner from his post as deputy commander of the Jordan Valley Brigade following the incident of April, also supported Eisner and contradicted the decision he has taken earlier.
"The "IDF" is a large military force and there are many events in many places and people can make mistakes. We work hard at it, but this incident is not representative of the "IDF", or of Lt. Col. Eisner," said Grantz.
Though "Israeli" army has announced the attack on the Pro-Palestinians activist and Eisner's removal was on "Moral grounds", "Israeli" officers described the incident as just "professional and command failures."
