Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon (Likud) visited Shachar Roditi, the IDF officer who was injured in an explosion by the village of Hizme last Tuesday.
The officer is considered to be in moderate condition. He is fully conscious and in contact with his family.
"I was very moved when I met with the officer and his family, who are showing such strength of heart," said the Minister after hearing about Roditi's experiences. "What is needed now is time for recovery. There are terrific doctors and a supportive atmosphere here. I am certain that his willpower, as well as that of his family, will help him return to a life of action and creativity."
