Surprise visits of IDF lone soldiers with their mothers are among the most touching and heartwarming events ever.
An IDF lone soldier has no immediate family in Israel. He or she usually comes from another country in order to serve as a volunteer.
Hanan Naftali, a pro-Israel activist and videographer, collected several recordings of homecoming surprises by IDF lone soldiers.
The visits are so emotional that he could barely edit them without tearing up.
As a soldier himself, seeing a mother cry on her son’s shoulders and not on his tomb makes Naftali cry as well.
Watch and share if you appreciate our IDF soldiers!
