Thousands of Israelis accompanied fallen IDF soldier Michael Tyukin, an only child, on his final journey after he was killed in a Hezbollah drone attack in southern Lebanon.

After his mother asked the people of Israel to attend her son’s funeral, thousands accompanied Sergeant Michael Tyukin, who fell in Lebanon, to his resting place.

May his memory be blessed. pic.twitter.com/TBwC1MwO0Q
