Less than a month after an expert panel accused the defense establishment of "grave ethical failures" in testing an experimental anthrax vaccine on hundreds of soldiers, Israel Radio revealed Sunday that soldiers from the Duhifat Battalion were forced to participate in another experiment 15 years ago.
Soldiers who participated in the experiment claimed that they were forced to drink the magnesium by their commanders. "If we didn't drink it then we were punished," one of the soldiers said. The soldiers also said they were not given details about the experiment or asked to sign a consent form before participating.
Last month, a panel of medical and legal experts said that soldiers who underwent an anthrax experiment were not properly informed of the possible risks.
