Tsahi Idan, who was murdered in captivity and his body returned to Israel this week from Gaza, will be laid to rest this afternoon in Kibbutz Einat after a public procession.
The procession will set off from Bloomfield Stadium in Tel Aviv, as Idan was a devout Hapoel Tel Aviv fan.
It will pass through a number of points in central Israel, where people are expected to line the streets with Israeli flags, before reaching Kibbutz Einat.
Idan will be buried alongside his 18-year-old daughter, Maayan, who was murdered on October 7 by Hamas terrorists who shot through the door of their reinforced room in Kibbutz Nahal Oz before taking Tsahi captive. His wife, Gali, and their three other children, survived.
