Israeli troops caught sleeping on job along Lebanon border

A team of Israeli paratroopers were caught sleeping while lying in ambush along the border with Lebanon, reported Ynetnews.com Sunday. The Israeli website said the incident, which took place several days ago, was uncovered after soldiers from the Paratroopers Brigade 101st Battalion stationed along the border with Lebanon failed to respond to radio calls from the company's "war room.” The team had been deployed to keep watch over a sensitive area along the border with Lebanon to prevent smuggling and possible attempts to infiltrate the Jewish state, Ynet said. Following an investigation, the company commander was sentenced to 14 days in a military prison, while the soldiers were confined to their base for 21 days.
