Thousands of people are expected to take part in the funeral of Hadar Goldin, the slain soldier whose body was handed over to Israel on Sunday, 11 years after his killing and abduction in the Gaza Strip.

Goldin’s funeral will be held at 10 a.m. in Kfar Saba. A funeral procession is now starting from the IDF’s Shura Base near Rehovot to Kfar Saba. Many people are expected to line roads along the way to honor Goldin.
