Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon (Likud) has instructed IDF installations to not allow people from Breaking the Silence to enter.
"The State of Israel is backing the fighters and commanders who go out to fight on its behalf, and we know how to protect every one of our soldiers when some group or other tries to attack them while they are traveling abroad," said Ya'alon.
He continued: "We are aware of the foolish attempts by various organizations to defame and slander IDF soldiers around the world, and this is a struggle that requires us to expose their true faces."
