An IDF officer was attacked by settlers Saturday night outside the Kedumim settlement during a violent protest over the death of a teenage Jewish extremist in a car chase with police last month, the army reported Sunday.
IDF Chief of Staff Aviv Kohavi denounced the attack on the officer, saying in a statement that such violence must be rejected by Israeli society.
The assailant, whose name has not been released, was detained at the site of the attack and handed over to police.
