"The soldier's remarks are unacceptable," an IDF Spokesperson's Unit response said. "They contradict IDF directives, and such remarks should not come from an IDF soldier."

In addition, the unit said that "while reviewing the case, the soldier reacted in a manner that does not align with the values of the military.

"The case is in the hands of the relevant authorities. It was also decided to reevaluate the soldier's future in the IDF," it added.

According to a KAN News report, the soldier, who lives in a Samaria settlement and serves in a regional brigade in the Judea and Samaria Division, wrote that he "prefers that we will unite under one call – to execute the murderers of Ahuvia Sandak and Esther Horgen, may God avenge their blood."

Sandak was killed last week when the vehicle he was in flipped over while fleeing from the police.
