Sephardic Chief Rabbi Shlomo Amar and a delegation of rabbis from Judea and Samaria met with Ephraim Brigade commander Colonel Ron Kahane of the Ephraim Brigade on Wednesday.
At the meeting Kahane and his officers told the rabbis about the incident at the Ephraim Brigade headquarters, where some 50 angry youth clashed with soldiers and threw Molotov cocktails and stones at IDF vehicles after hearing rumors demolition orders were to be carried out in Jewish communities Monday evening.
In a separate incident Kahane was injured on Monday when stones were thrown at his vehicle.
At the meeting the rabbis shared their dismay over the incident, but also expressed the deep pain in the national camp caused by the political echelon’s decision to use IDF forces against Israeli civilians in Judea and Samaria.
They also reminded the officers that despite their frustration the youth of Judea and Samaria continue to enlist in the IDF at a higher per capita rate than other segments of Israeli society.
