The "instruction" he gave to female NCO V. and his feeling of "targeted elimination": the claims in Arieh Amridor's petition

Lt. Col. Arieh Amridor, the intelligence officer of the Gaza Division on October 7, claims in a petition he filed that his dismissal from the IDF is discriminatory and arbitrary, stemming from personal persecution. He attributes to himself the leadership in producing Hamas training exercises through female NCO V., and describes a feeling of "targeted elimination" by the military. The Supreme Court permitted the publication of his name.

Lt. Col. Arieh Amridor, the intelligence officer of the Gaza Division on October 7, filed an administrative petition against his dismissal from the IDF, arguing that the decision is "arbitrary, discriminatory, and biased" and stems from personal persecution. In the petition documents, first revealed by ynet after the Supreme Court permitted the publication of his name, Amridor claims he was the first to identify that intelligence collection to assess Hamas's capabilities had been neglected. According to him, he instructed female NCO V. to produce Hamas training exercises, and following his instruction, she put the findings in writing. Amridor argues that he is "the only commander in the IDF who is paying a real price, in the form of loss of rights, for the failures of the military and the state." His attorney described a feeling of "targeted elimination" by the military, claiming that relevant investigations are being hidden from them. The prosecution responded that the process began in November 2025, and that the Deputy Chief of Staff's opinion includes specific allegations regarding professional errors and the officer's conduct. The process includes the revocation of his permanent service commitment, which began in November 2025, and the initiation of his discharge process in February 2026.
