Officials condemn settler violence against security forces
Minister of Defense Avigdor Lieberman and Minister of Public Security Gilad Erdan both join a chorus of officials in condemning settler attacks on security forces and civilians; Lieberman: 'There is zero tolerance for violence against security forces.'
In a Facebook post, Lieberman wrote, "Zero tolerance for violence against IDF soldiers and security forces! Law enforcement must swiftly and decisively bring justice to the thugs who attacked IDF soldiers and Border Policemen."
In addition to Lieberman, other public officials are also voicing their outrage at the incident, including Minister of Public Security Gilad Erdan.
"Hate crimes are among the more serious crimes which we must fight, whether they are against Jews or Arabs. There is no room for racist hatred or violence and this phenomenon needs to be dealt with a strong hand by law enforcement officials, who will take all necessary actions to bring the attackers to justice," wrote Erdan on his Twitter account.
The outcry by public officials comes on the heels of a weekend marred by settler attacks on left-wing organizations, Palestinians and security forces.
