Israel‘s military chief of staff condemned an assault on Israeli troops in the West Bank by left-wing activists, including an off-duty soldier.

The incident took place earlier on Friday near the Hebron Mount in the West Bank and saw left-wing Israelis, Palestinians, and one off-duty Israeli soldier clash with and hurl stones at Israeli troops posted at the site.

Israel‘s Army Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Aviv Kochavi condemned the attack, saying it represented „a very serious incident.“
