IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir “strongly condemns” the attack on two servicewomen in the ultra-Orthodox city of Bnei Brak earlier today.
In a statement, the IDF says Zamir views the incident gravely and “strongly condemns the assault on IDF soldiers who were carrying out a military mission” in the city.
The servicewomen serve with the Education and Youth Corps, and were in the ultra-Orthodox city as part of a home visit to one of their soldiers.
“Any harm to IDF soldiers carried out by Israeli civilians is a serious crossing of a red line and action must be taken against the attackers with a firm hand,” the statement says.
Zamir adds that he “expects that the attackers will be brought to justice.”
