Lt. Col. (res.) Alon Even-Chen, who was protesting at Science Park junction in Rehovot for the return of the hostages, told Ynet that he was attacked by young people who also tried to grab his megaphone. 'The feeling of being punched because I came to protest for the hostages, after fighting in Gaza for hundreds of days for our country, is offensive and sad. The physical punch will heal, but what hurts is the feeling of humiliation.'
