The Israeli military has announced that reserve Colonel Yoav Yarom will not face criminal charges in connection with the deaths of Sergeant Gur Kehati and researcher Ze'ev 'Jabo' Erlich during an incident in Lebanon last November. The decision follows a hearing and a review by the Military Advocate General's Office, which accepted Yarom's explanation that the operation was necessary for operational reasons. The military stated that the site visit was planned in advance and deemed essential for ongoing operations. This decision has sparked criticism and anger from the family of the fallen soldier, who had called for accountability.
