Religious Zionism party leader MK Bezalel Smotrich paid tribute to the commander of the Nahal Brigade, Col. Sharon Asman, who passed away unexpectedly.
"It was with tremendous pain and astonishment that we received the news of the death of Col. Sharon Asman. Together with all the people of Israel, we mourn the untimely death of Col. Asman, a brave soldier and a revered commander who was appointed to lead the Nahal Brigade just this week. He was a man who dedicated his entire life to the State of Israel, and one of Israel's best sons. This has been a great loss to the brigade, to the IDF and to all the people of Israel. My heartfelt condolences to the family, and may he be inscribed in the Book of Life."
