The square and the elements integrated into it, the “tulip” flowers and the tank tower, symbolize Thuli’s life.\u00a0The “tulip” flowers are full, colorful and delight their beholders, just as Thuli was in his life.\u00a0The flowers are hollow as a symbol of what was not enough in his life, the void he left behind and the\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0void that has opened in the lives of his lovers since his fall.\u00a0The turret of the “Shoot” type tank, in which Lehm Tuli was killed beside him, symbolizes his dedication to the State of Israel for whose defense he fought, his love for tanks and the Armored Corps, and being part of the IDF’s battle heritage.<\/strong><\/p>\n
