Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the break-in to the yard of the home in Ashkelon of the military police commander, Lt. Col. Yuval Yamin, by ultra-Orthodox protesters. Netanyahu called the incident a 'wild and violent attack' and demanded 'to act with a heavy hand against those involved.' Defense Minister Israel Katz backed Yamin and came out against the intruders: 'A group of violent criminals who must face the full severity of the law.'
