A female Israeli soldier accepted the “Kiki challenge” and published a video of herself dancing to Drake’s “In my Feelings”.
Posed on Facebook, the video shows the soldier in training jumping out of a car dancing then shooting into the distance before resuming her dance moves.
Israel has asked two fashion labels to withdraw adverts which play on the “Kiki challenge” for fear that they will inspire young people to take part in the viral dance.
The Makor news site said one of the companies has now removed its advert while the other has altered its advertisement.
The Israeli authorities are concerned that the challenge will affect road safety and endanger lives as it calls for participants to jump out of a slow moving car to dance to Drake’s “In My feelings” before jumping back in and driving away.
The “Kiki challenge” has been banned in a number of countries including Egypt, Jordan, Palestine and the UAE where it has been deemed a danger.
