Chief of Staff Gadi Eizenkot visited the Netzah Yehuda (Nahal Haredi) battalion Tuesday. The visit came in the wake of increasing incitement and attacks on haredi soldiers over the past year.
Eizenkot spoke with soldiers about their challenges and difficulties and said that he admired them for serving despite the serious cost they had to pay for their service. He also sharply condemned the villification and attacks on soldiers by extremists and said that every person who attacked a soldier should be jailed.
