The Nature and Parks Authority on Friday confirmed that it has suspended an employee following an incident at the Snir Stream nature reserve earlier in the day, in which the employee reportedly ordered yeshiva students to leave and called them 'deserters.' The Authority said in a statement that it views the incident with 'great severity,' that the behavior is 'exceptional and completely contradicts the Authority's values,' and that the employee has been 'immediately suspended from his position until the end of the investigation.' The Authority also emphasized that it welcomes hundreds of thousands of visitors annually from all sectors and cooperates with the Haredi Authority. The Zioneer first reported the incident at 14:52 Jerusalem time.
