The relatives of some dead soldiers had protested against the fact that in many military units, the so-called Yitzkor text had been changed to be given a religious sense.
The original text called on "the people of Israel" to keep the soldiers in their memories.
The decision to revert back to the original text was taken by a military commission appointed by the army chief of staff, Lieutenant General Benny Gantz.
