from Haaretz yesterday
"It seems that the preoccupation of senior officers with the incident stems not only from the severity of the case, but also the fact that As’ad was a United States citizen."

Many of them are young ultra-Orthodox yeshiva dropouts who enlisted in the army and asked for a combat posting.
