The third, a woman, is in moderate condition. She is the wife of 42-year-old Ido Ben Ari, who was killed in the attack. She left the hospital this morning to attend Ben Ari’s funeral, slated for 6 p.m. tonight in Yavneh, and will return to the hospital to resume her recovery in the evening.
The fourth is the suspected terrorist. He is listed in moderate condition, stable and breathing without aid.
We can't do this work alone.
The war with Iran has been draining for all of us in Israel. But when I heard about a high casualty incident – ballistic missile impacts in Arad and Dimona that left nearly 200 people wounded – I drank a cup of coffee, packed a bag, and headed south.
There, I spoke with Shilgit, the head of an after-school program for underprivileged youth. Standing outside her destroyed center, Shilgit said it was a miracle that no children were hurt and spoke about the community coming together in the hours since.
As a Times of Israel reporter, I’m committed to telling stories of resilience like Shilgit’s. But my colleagues and I can't do this alone.
