Frankfurters.


This is coolbert:

Inter arma enim silent leges 

"In times of war, the law falls silent."

 NOT in all instances!!

"IDF soldiers sentenced to 20 days in prison for making hot dogs [frankfurters] on Shabbat"

Not actually making frankfurters. Merely warming them.

From https://www.jpost.com | By JERUSALEM POST STAFF | MARCH 1, 2024. 

"Two soldiers have been sentenced to 20 days in military prison after being caught warming up hot dogs [frankfurters] in a military kitchen on Shabbat, according to a KAN11 report on Friday."

"The pair were caught by a third soldier who entered the kitchen and saw them committing the act."

"They were summoned to trial, where they initially denied the charges but later confessed and were sentenced to at least 20 days in prison."

Seems like a rather harsh sentence for what to most observers would seem to be a trifling offense.

Lighting a fire [heating the frankfurters] on the Jewish Sabbath forbidden. Food to be consumed the Sabbath day is prepared in advance and and then eaten without reheating.
