Update on condition of terror victim
Neria Leiter breathing on own, needs tefillos
The reservist, son of Israel's ambassador to the US, was critically wounded in the Maccabim checkpoint ramming attack two months ago. He remains unconscious but is now breathing independently and showing slight movement in his limbs.
Leiter was critically injured in the terror attack on Route 443 near the Maccabim checkpoint two months ago. He arrived at Shaare Zedek Medical Center with a severe head injury and underwent life-saving procedures in the trauma unit, followed by complex brain surgery that lasted several hours. At the time, the hospital said his condition was extremely critical and his life was in danger.
Neria is a reservist who returned to active duty after his older brother, Major (res.) Moshe Yedidya Leiter Hy"d, fell in battle in Beit Hanoun in northern Gaza in November 2023. Despite the family's loss, Neria went back to reserve service and has served hundreds of days on various fronts since October 7.
