Matan Peleg, chairman of the Am Tartus movement, said: "If it weren't for the pressure of the subversive organizations, that fighter would not have been prosecuted at all, as he acted in his own defense, in an area where they tried several times to harm his friends and during a complex security period.
We stand by the fighter's side and call on the security and judicial system to stop persecuting our soldiers!"
