"The IDF is planning on dismissing two soldiers convicted of planting a dummy bombs in Jerusalem's central but station and court houses, senior officials told Ynet.

The two soldiers, Aryeh Katz and Meir Brettler, who are from an ultra-Orthodox unit, are expected to finish serving their sentence this week. They will then be immediately dismissed from the IDF."

"Katz and Brettler, who have been jailed for six months, will appear before a committee where the decision to dismiss them will apparently be taken. "Clearly, there's no place for a decision to leave them in the IDF," said a senior officer from the Military Prosecutor's Office."

"In July 2005, a device made up of a gas balloon, a clock, and wires was found in the bathroom of Jerusalem's Central Station along with the note: "The disengagement will blow up in your face."

The station was closed and emergency vehicles were rushed to the scene, only to discover the device was fake."
