Overview
A true story about the only ever execution of an Israeli officer by the Israeli military.
In 1948, six weeks after the state of Israel was established and in the midst of the War of Independence, Captain Meyer Tuvianski was accused of treason. He was brought to a court martial, tried, sentenced, and executed within 4 hours. One year later he was exonerated by Ben Gurion and received a full military burial.
