The Hadera Municipality on Monday ordered the removal of posters commemorating fallen soldiers in areas where they obstructed drivers’ vision.
Photos taken by Hadera residents showed the removed posters of the fallen soldiers crumpled up and thrown on the ground near a garbage bin.
In response to an inquiry on the matter by The Jerusalem Post, the municipality said it was “appalled to see the manner in which the removal of the signs was carried out.”
“The incident is under review, and procedures will be reinforced,” it added.
The instructions to remove the posters were intended for those that were “hung in a way that obstructed drivers’ field of vision, endangering them and pedestrians,” the municipality said.
Since the October 7 massacre, posters of hostages taken by Hamas terrorists, along with those depicting fallen soldiers, have been displayed throughout the country.
The posters can be seen on buildings, highways, and at bus stops. They are meant to spread awareness regarding the hostages and the ongoing Israel-Hamas War.
They have also been put up in various locations worldwide and are often torn down or vandalized with antisemitic graffiti, according to reports.
'Until victory'
The posters that were taken down by the Hadera Municipality had the words “until victory” written on them.
