The Yesh Atid party's legal adviser has called on police to launch a criminal investigation, after an unknown person placed offensive and threatening pictures of party leader Yair Lapid onto a Yesh Atid supporter's car in the central Israeli city of Ramat Gan.

One of the pictures portrayed Lapid as a Nazi SS officer, while the other was a crude photoshop of his face with a knife through his head and a black eye.

In a statement responding to the incident, the party said only that: "We will continue with our positive campaign and have complete faith in the legal system."
