Yonatan Shmeriz, brother of Alon Shmeriz who was abducted and accidentally killed by IDF fire in Gaza, filed a lawsuit for NIS 710,023 against activist Ziv Brenes, who called the memorial ceremony for the October 7 families 'Third Reich propaganda'.

Yonatan Shmeriz, brother of Alon Shmeriz who was abducted and accidentally killed by IDF fire in Gaza and founder of the 'Kumu' movement, filed a lawsuit for NIS 710,023 against activist Ziv Brenes. Brenes posted a video in which he called the national memorial ceremony for the October 7 families 'Third Reich propaganda'. Shmeriz claims that Brenes defamed the memory of the murdered and the bereaved families, accused the families of responsibility for the massacre, and falsely claimed that the ceremony was funded by political bodies. The lawsuit amount symbolizes the date of the massacre. Brenes responded on Instagram that Shmeriz is appropriating bereavement, and that he and the refuseniks he brought to the ceremony are responsible for dismantling the army. He threatened further legal action.
