Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faced heckling from the audience during his speech at Bahad 1's combat officer graduation ceremony on Thursday.
Members of the crowd shouted "Go home" at Netanyahu, although cheering could be heard afterward.
The shout was heard immediately after Netanyahu said, "There were years when I heard the conversation, I heard veteran officers turn to new ones and ask them, has anyone been in a collision under fire? But in recent years, these questions are hardly asked. You arrived at Bahad 1 equipped with operational experience that you acquired in the War of Rebirth. Sometimes it is a painful experience. Before I came here, I was a fighter, and I lost a dear friend."
Katz announces IDF to remain within security buffer zones
Defense Minister Israel Katz also spoke at the ceremony, announcing that the IDF would indefinitely remain within the security buffer zones in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza.
"We oppose the withdrawal of IDF forces from the security zone in Lebanon, despite all the existing and future pressures," he said.
"We will not withdraw from the security zone in Lebanon. The purpose of the IDF remaining in the security zone in Lebanon is clear: to protect the northern communities, thwart threats, and destroy the terrorist infrastructure in the area - below and above ground," he added. "Commanders and fighters have all the support necessary to complete their mission and protect themselves and the citizens of Israel."
He also announced that if Iran attacked Israel for any reason, Israel would attack back "in a way that will clearly demonstrate to it the power gap between us."
