My wife and I send our heartfelt condolences to the family of Sergeant First Class Michael Tyukin, may his memory be a blessing, who fell in battle in southern Lebanon.

Michael z”l immigrated to Israel from Ukraine 6 years ago, lived in Ashkelon, and out of an immense sense of mission, enlisted to be a fighter in the Givati ​​reconnaissance unit. Together with his friends, he fought heroically deep in Lebanese territory to protect Israel’s security and the northern communities. On behalf of all citizens of Israel, we share in the deep sorrow of Michael z”l’s family and embrace them and his loved ones. We wish our wounded a complete and speedy recovery and strengthen the brave IDF fighters who are currently on the front lines. May Michael’s memory be blessed and cherished in our hearts forever.
