Israel’s Environmental Protection Ministry to impose NIS 3,830,469 worth of financial fines on the IDF for its negligence.
The Environmental Protection Ministry will impose NIS 3,830,469 worth of financial sanctions on the IDF due to the army’s negligence with respect to asbestos removal, the ministry announced on Monday evening.
Despite the fact that the Environment Ministry had ordered the army to evacuate an asbestos hazard from an area adjacent to Beersheba’s Natan Shalid base seven months ago, the IDF has failed to do so, according to the ministry.
Instead, panels laden with asbestos have sat exposed to the open air and have caused health hazards to soldiers, the ministry explained.
