A-G orders police to investigate settler threats against soldiers

By JPOST.COM STAFF
Deputy State Attorney for Special Tasks Shai Nitzan, with the authority of Attorney-General Menahem Mazuz, on Sunday instructed the police to open a criminal investigation into comments made by Kiryat Arba settlers against IDF soldiers. Following the evacuation of an illegal outpost near Hebron early Sunday, some right-wing activists had called for revenge attacks against security forces, with one telling Army Radio, "We hope that [the soldiers] will be defeated by the enemy, that they all become like Gilad Schalit, that they all be killed and slaughtered, because that is what they deserve." "May the names of the soldiers be obliterated," another said.
