President Reuven Rivlin has commented on the ongoing story of an IDF soldier who shot a neutralized terrorist on Friday.

"The current campaign against the terror which Israel faces is difficult and complex. We must manage this campaign with composure, determination and consistency," he said. "I am able to rest much better at night with the knowledge that Chief of Staff Gadi Eizenkot is the bearer of Israel’s security. I have full faith in him and in the IDF, in its officers and soldiers. I trust in the military’s ability to investigate, and attentively and swiftly draw operational and individual lessons wherever needed."
