Shai Alon, head of the Beit El council, paid tribute to the late Col. Sharon Asman, who previously served as Binyamin regional brigade commander.
"We worked a lot together and I even hosted him at my house. He was an imposing man, who knew how to do his job exceptionally well and cooperate profitably and cheerfully with others. Settlements in Binyamin lost a dear, humble, and professional man and friend today."
