The head of the IDF Central Command, Major General Nadav Padan, on Sunday visited the Kumi Ori hill, near the Samaria town of Yitzhar, where fighters from the Golani Brigade were attacked overnight Saturday by right-wing activists.
Padan was joined by the commander of the Judea and Samaria Brigade, Brigadier General Yaniv Elalouf, Commander of the Samaria Regional Brigade Brigadier General Sagiv Dahan, and by Yossi Dagan, chairman of the Shomron Regional Council.
When the officers arrived at the entrance to Yitzhar, they were greeted by dozens of residents who expressed support for the IDF and its soldiers.
