Born in Tragedy: How is Tze'ela Gez's baby?

Schneider Children’s Medical Center reported that the infant born during a deadly terror attack in Samaria remains in critical condition. The attack, which occurred Wednesday night near Brukhin, claimed the life of Tze’ela Gez, a Bruchin resident in her ninth month of pregnancy, as she was en route to the hospital for delivery. The infant was delivered via emergency surgery.

Dr. Omri Niv, deputy director at Schneider, stated, “The infant arrived last night in very critical condition after the murderous attack. Our team worked intensively overnight to stabilize him, but his condition remains critical. We extend our deepest condolences to the family.” The infant is currently being cared for in the hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit.

Beilinson Hospital confirmed that the infant’s father, who sustained minor injuries in the attack, was treated in the trauma unit and discharged Thursday morning. The attack has left the community in mourning, with authorities continuing to search for the shooter.
