IDF's Amnesty Month a huge success
The IDF released photos of the army's equipment that was returned during the IDF's amnesty month which finished on April 15. Until that date you could return any IDF equipment that somehow ended up in the back of your closet or in your garage, without questions asked or charges filed.
The army got back more than a million rounds of ammo, thousands of explosives, hundreds of guns, 2 airplane joysticks (without the airplanes) and... a motorcycle.
Back in March, the IDF declared amnesty month from March 20 until April 15. You could return all your IDF equipment you “accidentally” took home – no questions asked, no jail time.
The operation quickly received some guns and ammo, but now that it’s over, lets take a look at some of the more interesting things that was returned.
According to the chart below, the IDF received back:
457 guns and rifles of all types
1,343,711 rounds of ammunition
1890 grenades
396 explosive ignition and pyrotechnic systems
220 binoculars, scopes and night vision equipment
27,681 pieces of personal equipment (helmets, vests, knives, clothing…)
2142 explosives, shells, mortars and missiles
What appears to be 2 joysticks from a plane,
Crazy!
