Serious disregard for the instructions: On social media this evening (Tuesday) the name of the fighter who was killed in the shooting attack in Shavi Samaria was published – before it was allowed to be published. Among the publishers of the name of the slain – MK Matan Kahana.
The IDF spokesman strongly criticized the publication of the name of the slain soldier on the Internet before it was allowed to be published: “The IDF spokesman clarifies that the name and picture of the soldier who was killed in Samaria are still not allowed to be published.”

“Spreading his name, details, unit and picture is irresponsible, disrespectful and against the law,” said an IDF spokesperson.
Later, Kahana apologized for the early publication and tweeted: “Due to my mistake, the announcement was published before the report was approved. I have learned my lessons and I apologize from the bottom of my heart if I hurt anyone.”
As I recall, the soldier who was killed securing the march to Sebastia that took place today on the occasion of Hol Moad, was shot by a terrorist at short range and injured in his upper body. Initially, his condition was defined as mild to moderate, but later his condition deteriorated and later he was pronounced dead at the hospital.
This year, the Knesset plenum unanimously approved the bill that prohibits the publication of victims’ names on social networks. The proposal is intended to prevent the publication of information about victims of attacks, accidents and events on the social network before an orderly notification has been given to the victim’s family.
According to the proposal: “A person shall not publish the first name or the last name of a victim and any other information that may lead to the identification of the victim by the general public, including his immediate environment, as long as an official has not confirmed that an official notification has been given to the victim’s family.”
The ban on advertising will apply in the first 24 hours after the event. Except in cases where the family or an official publicized it first. The court may award damages – a fine of 10,000 shekels that violators of the bill will pay to the victims, without proof of damage.
