Activists hang fake death notices outside ministers’ homes, blaming them for deaths of 620 soldiers

In a Memorial Day protest, mothers of Israel Defense Forces soldiers hang imitation death notices outside the homes of multiple politicians, blaming them for the deaths of 620 soldiers during and since Hamas’s October 7 massacre.

“Every one of the fallen soldiers, and those that will be added to the list, every family that becomes a mourning family, every death, every grave, every one of them is on you,” the sign reads.

“It turns out, the combination of fear and rage is a maternal engine for action,” the group “Awake Moms” says in a post on Facebook.

Photos on social media show the signs hung near the homes of lawmakers including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Isaac Herzog, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, Foreign Minister Israel Katz, Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana, Intelligence Minister Gila Gamliel, Economy Minister Nir Barkat, and Science and Technology Minister Ofir Akunis, along with a number of MKs.
