A further 29 sustained injuries.
“We will continue to denounce those who do not denounce, but instead encourage. We will continue to demand that they do what is needed of leaders of free nations,” he said, according to the Times of Israel. “We will not give up, we will not bow our heads, we will continue to fight as our ancestors did.”
