Ya'alon: Haredi soldier assault is despicable, abhorrent
None
Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon referred to the attack of a haredi soldier in Mea Shearim and said: "The attack is despicable and abhorrent, and requires serious treatment. We cannot allow violent hooligans to threaten the peace of young haredim who choose to join the IDF."
Ya'alon further added: "They should be brought to justice with zero tolerance and we will fight this trend with severity. I call on the leaders of the haredi public to condemn the violence and vigorously eradicate such phenomena from the root." (Yoav Zitun)
