Gantz ordered to remove Facebook post with photo of soldiers

The head of the Central Elections Committee orders Blue and White chairman to take down a Facebook post that includes a picture of Israeli soldiers.

Supreme Court Justice Neal Hendel, the head of the committee, also fines Gantz NIS 4,000 ($1,167).

The offending post included a picture of soldiers who were injured earlier this month during a suspected car-ramming attack in Jerusalem.

Campaign advertising rules forbid using uniformed soldiers in campaign material and it is illegal to campaign on IDF bases.
