Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defence Minister Ehud Barak and Chief of Staff Benny Gantz visited the Ephraim Spatial Brigade base, and lit the first candle of Chanukah with IDF soldiers. "There is a reason why the top security echelon of the state is here today," said Netanyahu in reference to the attack on the brigade commander and his deputy during a rightist riot outside the base last week.
