Public Security Minister Yitzchak Aharonovich on Tuesday night spoke by phone with the officer who was injured in a shooting on the Mt. Of Olives earlier. The officer was shot by an Arab. Aharonovich, who is on a visit to South America, told the officer that "I was updated on what happened. I want to encourage you and wish you a speedy recovery. You have a difficult job. It is not easy to stand firm in the field," the Minister said.
