Corporal D. is going to face charges for his Facebook post backing IDF soldier Sgt. Elor Azariya, with the latter in the midst of a manslaughter trial at present. �D� uploaded a post against Company Command Tom Neeman, accusing him of lying in the Yaffo Military Court when he testified against Azariya. According to Neeman�s testimony, Elor fired at the terrorist�s head after he was no longer a threat. �D� stated in his post this was not the case.
�D� announced Neeman was not telling the truth and was only looking out for himself and future promotions. The IDF spokesman explains that while �D� gave testimony during the investigation, he actually did not witness the shooting but was involved with something else.
�D� has requested a military trial, which was turned down by the military for fear it would become a media circus. Instead, he will stand trial before a senior officer.
