IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir has publicly condemned the violent disruption of a conference for the ultra-Orthodox Hasmonean Brigade in Bnei Brak. Zamir spoke with the brigade's commander, Avinoam Emunah, offering strong support to the unit's leaders and soldiers after protesters clashed with troops during an event for parents of recruits.

Zamir emphasized that violence against military personnel is unacceptable and crosses a 'red line' in Israeli society. He also praised the brigade's commitment to its mission, expressing concern that such an incident occurred while the military faces significant challenges and responsibilities.
