Gantz condemns assault of soldiers helping rescue the wounded at Meron

After the Israel Defense Forces said soldiers assisting in rescue efforts at Mount Meron were physically and verbally accosted, Defense Minister Benny Gantz condemns the assault.

“Saving live is a supreme value and I’m proud of all IDF soldiers in treating the wounding in the disaster at Miron and firmly condemn whoever attacked the soldiers there,” Gantz writes on Twitter.

He adds: “Many citizens owe their lives to those who were called to the event. Just like at Moron, just like during the coronavirus, IDF soldiers will continue to save lives wherever they are needed.”
