President Reuven Rivlin responds to the terror attacks in Jerusalem in which First Seageant Yosef Kirma and Levana Malihi were killed today.
“My concerns and prayers are with those injured in the bloodthirsty, heinous, terrorist attack in Jerusalem this morning, and I wish to send my deepest condolences and sympathies to the families of the murdered at this difficult, terrible time,” Rivlin says.
“This past year has not been easy. A year ago on Rosh Hashanah, the New Year, terror once again struck on our streets, and time after time, just as today, the civilian home front found itself to be the front line. The IDF, the Shin Bet security agency, the police, and all the security services are working tirelessly to ensure our safety. I want to thank the police and all the men and women of the security services who work day and night.”
“We cannot allow terror to weaken us; we must stand firm, united, to preserve our security,” he concludes.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
