IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir visited the military’s Binyamin Regional Brigade, following last night’s settler attack against troops in the area in the central West Bank.

“I strongly condemn any violence against IDF soldiers, Border Police, and all security forces. I expect all law enforcement authorities, legal entities, and welfare agencies to address the phenomenon in a broad and decisive manner,” Zamir is quoted as saying in an IDF statement.

The IDF chief met with the commander of the brigade’s 7114th Battalion, who was assaulted by settlers near the Palestinian village of Kafr Malik last night, and other senior officers.
