The condition of a civilian security guard seriously wounded in a shooting attack at a checkpoint near Jerusalem last month has improved, according to the Hadassah Ein Kerem Medical Center.
A hospital official says that David Morel, 30, who was shot during the attack near the Shuafat refugee camp on October 8, has “gradually regained consciousness.”
“He still has a long road of treatment ahead of him, but we are satisfied with the progress he has made so far,” says Dr. Guy Rosenthal, director of the hospital’s neurosurgical intensive care unit.
In the attack, an Israeli soldier, Sgt. Noa Lazar, 18, was killed. The gunmen fled and was killed days later attempting to commit another attack.
