In the Israeli newspaper Haaretz we learn that an Israeli officer admits that he made up one of the IDF's "most iconic tales of heroism": http://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/1.749812 How do you think that this will affect the Israeli army, and the Israeli public's perception of it? Will people be upset, dismayed, or will they simply shrug their shoulders? I mean, this is hardly the first time that one of their soldiers makes up a war story or fakes an attack, so maybe Israelis are used to these things?
