Graffiti inscriptions on Namir Road in Tel Aviv were commemorating the fallen of the war as well as calls for the return of the abducted. The original inscriptions were sprayed by Hapoel Tel Aviv fans in memory of murdered people who supported the team.

"How is it possible to do something like this? It's not nice, insulting, hurtful. I want to correct the terrible injustice that was done here," Farah, the mother of Lance Corporal (ret.) Nitzan Shasler, who was killed in battle in the southern Gaza Strip, wrote on Facebook. "Shame and disgrace. You don't trample on the memory of a soldier who fell in the Iron Swords War like this. If it was your son, Huldai, you would make a monument in the city square," Yair Bastori accused on Instagram when he accused the light rail of profiting from the graffiti. "Greed, everything in this country is money," said Yonatan Samarno's brother.
