Israeli navy chief apologizes for strip club visit

Israeli military officials say the country's navy chief has apologized after he was sighted in a strip club.

Adm. Eli Marom was spotted by a reporter in the Go-Go Girls club in downtown Tel Aviv this week.

The officials say Marom apologized in a letter to the military chief of staff. Marom said it was a one-time slip and was not in keeping with the values expected of a military officer.

His behavior is not a crime, but is seen as scandalous for a commander meant to lead by example.

The Maariv newspaper quoted strippers identified as Celine and Jacqueline saying they had not realized who Marom was.

The officials said Wednesday that Marom was not likely to be disciplined. They spoke anonymously because the military had not officially released details.
