A senior military commander told the Jerusalem Post the indicators allow commanders to track their soldiers in real time.
“One of the main problems of a field commander is that he doesn’t always know where his troops are,” he says.
“With this indicator, commanders and pilots would know that the building they are about to bomb is clear of fellow IDF troops.”
