Deputy Defense Minister Eli Ben-Dahan said, Monday evening, that since the establishment of modern-day Israel until the present, "Our enemies have not rested for a moment. They don't stop harming the state of Israel, the state we have been looking forward to and waiting for for thousands of years."
Addressing a memorial observance for paratroopers, he continued, "Some of these schemes we experienced yesterday in Jerusalem: a murderer who went on a killing spree and murdered an innocent woman and an esteemed policeman who got married only five months ago."
