President Reuven Rivlin and First Lady Nechama Rivlin honored the Police counter-terrorism unit and Rambo the dog for the capture and killing of Ashraf Walid Suleiman Na’alwa, 23, the Barkan terrorist. "Outstanding soldiers are invited to Beit HaNasi. From time to time, it’s a real pleasure to meet outstanding dogs here, too," Rivlin said. "Look after yourselves. You do vital work and we all thank you for it.”Rambo was injured in the operation, but it set to recover and return to active duty. The nearly five-year-old Belgian Shepherd was born into the Police counter-terrorism unit and has participated in operations since he was one and half years old.In early October, Na’alwa killed Kim Levengrond-Yehezkel, 29, of Rosh Ha’ayin, and Ziv Hajbi, 35, from Rishon Lezion in the Barkan Industrial Park in the Samaria region of the West Bank. A third Israeli was also moderately wounded.
