Senior IDF officers are outraged and demand an investigation into suspected incitement against the officer.
The commander of the Paratroopers Brigade, Colonel Ro'i Zweig, was attacked on far-right social media networks following the deployment of his forces in the Shilo Valley to prevent violence against Palestinians. One publication stated that Zweig is "responsible for the unrestrained persecution" that ended with the burning of tefillin and holy books, and that he marked the "hilltop youth" as an enemy instead of fighting the real enemy. It was also claimed that Zweig has a "glorious past in the war against settlement." Senior IDF officers are outraged by the attack and demand an investigation into suspected incitement against the officer. The Paratroopers Brigade was moved to the Samaria area following incidents in which right-wing activists harmed Palestinian residents, wounded an American photojournalist, and attacked European diplomats.
