Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu took part in an outstanding reserve unit ceremony held at the President's Residence in Jerusalem.
"Our cohesion in moments of test and moments leading to moments of testing is ultimately the key to our power. I regret the tragic loss of life of Salomon Takka last night in Haifa. We all send condolences to his family," Netanyahu said.
"I talked about it with the Acting Inspector-General today, who promised me that we'd make a great effort to reach the truth as quickly as possible. The Ethiopian community is dear to us all. We've made a great effort in recent years to integrate them well into Israeli society, and we have a lot of work to do," added the Prime Minister.
