Vomiting and diarrhea at base after holiday meal: "Female recruits were forced to go on guard duty"

Parents of female recruits at the Nitzanim base claim that dozens of soldiers fell ill with food poisoning after the Rosh Hashanah meal, but the IDF reports only nine soldiers and denies a link to the food. The father of one recruit alleges dismissive treatment and being forced to go on guard duty despite their condition.

Parents of female recruits at the Nitzanim base claim that dozens of soldiers suffered vomiting and diarrhea after the Rosh Hashanah meal, but the IDF reports only nine soldiers and denies a link to the food. The father of one recruit alleges that the meat dish at the meal gave off a bad smell, and that soldiers who complained about their condition were forced to fulfill guard duties without receiving medical attention. According to him, one recruit went on guard duty despite feeling ill and collapsed on the way. The IDF stated that there were nine soldiers out of 229, that the food was tested and found to be fine, and that the soldiers received medical treatment and were sent to rest. The gap between the parents' version and the army's version remains open.
