Doctors at Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba successfully separate a pair of twin girls born conjoined at the head, the first time the rare surgery has been performed in Israel.
The craniopagus twins were born last August, connected at the head but with separate brains.
הד"ר יפה אשור, סגנית מנהל סורוקה, אצל @amirivgi: "התינוקות ערות, אוכלות, ומזיזות את הגפיים. זאת הפעם הראשונה בחייהן שהן הושכבו פנים מול פנים, וחוו מה זה לראות את אחותך התאומה. כולנו התרגשנו"
