One of three IDF soldiers caught last month after sabotaging UAVs has received a light sentence after a plea bargain was struck, Ynet reported Thursday.

The soldier removed a spark plug from the engine of a single unmanned aerial vehicle at the Palmachim air base on the orders of his shift commander, which caused the UAV to be taken out of service for an hour before a new plug was installed.

He was sentenced to 45 days in prison, 45 days of military labor (confinement), a fine of 1,000 shekels and a demotion to the rank of private.
