Third day in a row in which bereaved families from the 'Iron Swords' war encounter vandalism of photos of their loved ones: Yehoshua Shani, father of Captain Uri Mordechai the 14th and chairman of the 'Hero Forum', who made his way to the 'Heroic Camp' in Jerusalem, encountered a vandalized photo of his son at the Yad Ben Zvi intersection.
This case joins similar cases from the beginning of the week, in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, where signs were vandalized.

""I'm walking towards the hero's tent and I see this picture of Uri that a malicious hand has torn up," Shani describes. "It's a terrible pain to think that a malicious hand of a Jew, no matter what his opinion is, takes and tears up the picture of an Israeli hero. It hurts," he shares his feelings following the vandalism of the picture.
The forum's management notes that since the beginning of the week, they have been contacted by a number of bereaved families who have encountered the vandalism of photos of their loved ones.
"In the Holy Land, which our ancestors dreamed of in exile, nothing remains sacred," say the 'Heroism Forum', which is made up of over 340 families of soldiers who fell in the war. "Is this the true face of the protest? The slaughter of pictures of IDF martyrs? How much further will you drag the country?"
Itzik Buntzel, the father of Sergeant Amit Buntzel, who fell in the war, responded on the "Open Studio" program on Channel 14: "This video should continue to resonate in recent days time and time again on all television programs. I want to hear from everyone, including everyone, condemnation of the act.".
Education Minister Yoav Kish responded to the video and wrote on his X account: "Protest activists who have lost their minds are tearing up pictures of IDF martyrs. They are sure that everything is allowed to them. What a shame.".
It should be noted that signs calling on the government to stop the war and release the hostages were hung near the "Tent of Valor" in Jerusalem, where left-wing protest activists vandalized signs bearing pictures of soldiers who fell during the war, every two days.
