IDF Chief of Staff Major General Aviv Kochavi's bureau this evening issued a statement in which he "strongly condemns the wild behavior abandoning restraint towards the commander of the ground forces that took place today in Jerusalem.
"General Yoel Strick has been working for decades for the protection of the State and its citizens, including protecting civilians from the group that used violence at the event over the years. The Chief of Staff strongly condemns and repudiates all forms of violence against uniformed men, who work day and night to protect the citizens of the country," Kochavi's office added.
