Whoah, there! IDF soldier hopes to blow up al-Aqsa Mosque, is removed

An IDF reserve soldier who filmed himself on social media saying that al-Aqsa Mosque should be blown up was removed from service and reprimanded by the IDF.

The soldier had his friend film him next to a plaster image of the mosque, where he said that just as they're about to blow up an image of al-Aqsa, so should they soon blow up the actual mosque and build the Third Jewish Holy Temple. His friend filming him can be heard saying "Amen, Amen" in approval.

In response, the IDF removed the soldier from service and issued him a harsh reprimand, saying the IDF does not condone such actions and statements.
