Politicians pay tribute to ‘heroic’ policewoman

Israeli politicians praise Cohen for her heroism is fighting off the Damascus Gate attackers.

Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz says Cohen “paid with her life” to protect others. “There are no words to describe the loss and the pain,” he writes on Facebook.

Cohen’s actions are “admirable,” adds Interior Minister Aryeh Deri.

“My heart aches for Hadar Cohen, the border policewoman, just 19 years old, who thwarted with her body a more serious attack today at Damascus Gate. Hero,” writes Zionist Union MK Tzipi Livni on Twitter.
