At a memorial ceremony for two deceased soldiers of Israel's elite Sayeret Matkal unit, Ya'alon related how even a soldier who fights with courage is not immune from the law. Ya'alon also addressed rumors about the Givati brigade's actions on the same day of the kidnapping that was later deemed to have resulted in the death of the soldier.
