Doctor: IDF officer hurt in Hizme blasts is now stable
An IDF officer wounded in a West Bank attack last night is now in stable condition, according to one of his doctors.
The officer sustains serious, extensive head and face wounds when four pipe bombs exploded near him at a checkpoint outside the Palestinian village of Hizme, north of Jerusalem.
A “multi-disciplinary team” at Hadassah Hospital, Ein Kerem in Jerusalem performed 12-hour surgery to remove the shrapnel and bomb fragments embedded in his face. He is now in an intensive care unit for further treatment, but is no longer in life-threatening condition, the doctor says.
