Families of Fallen Shin Bet Staff Condemn Zini Over Memorial Removal
Bereaved families of Shin Bet employees killed in the October 7 massacre and during the Gaza war have condemned agency chief David Zini after he ordered the removal of a memorial corner dedicated to their loved ones at Shin Bet headquarters.
The families said the decision amounted to erasing remembrance, but not responsibility. In their words, “Removing symbols does not erase the responsibility.” They also said, “We will not let anyone forget.”
The memorial had been created for Shin Bet personnel who died in the October 7 attack and in the War of Iron Swords, the Hebrew name used for the ongoing war. The report said the families are angry over the dismantling of the site inside the organization’s headquarters.
The article did not say when Zini’s decision took effect or whether Shin Bet issued an official response. The controversy comes as public debate continues over commemoration and accountability after the October 7 attacks.
