Residents of Beit El gathered along the funeral route of David Yehuda Yitzhak, the IDF soldier who was killed in action during the counterterrorism operation in Jenin yesterday (Tuesday).
The residents waved Israeli flags in honor of Yitzhak, a 23-years-old resident of Beit El who fell in defense of Israel's citizens.
Yitzhak was evacuated from the scene in critical condition and brought to a hospital, where the staff was forced to declare his death.
He will be laid to rest at 4 pm this afternoon at the military cemetery on Mount Herzl. There will be no media coverage of the funeral at the family's request.
