The soldiers, from the elite Givati brigade, are seen dancing to Psy’s worldwide hit in the West Bank town of Hebron, with one solider hoisted onto a party-goer’s shoulders.
It was reported the unit had been sent out to investigate the noise but instead decided to join in the fun.

In a YouTube video entitled ‘Israeli soldiers dancing at a Palestinian wedding in Hebron’ the soldiers are seen in full gear including helmets, vests and weapons as the DJ claps along on the stage in the background.Unfortunately the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) did not see the funny side of the incident and has suspended the soldiers in question.
An IDF official said it considers the event a serious matter, adding ‘the soldiers exposed themselves to unnecessary danger and were disciplined accordingly’.
The party was attended by members of the Jaabari clan, whose male members are known to have links to the Palestinian militant group Hamas, the Israeli television station Channel 2 reported.
Hebron has been a flashpoint of violence between Israelis and Palestinians for decades.
