Schneider Children’s Hospital says the newborn baby whose mother was shot and killed in a terror attack is in serious but stable condition after doctors fought for his life overnight.

The baby is in intensive care, the hospital says.

Tzeela Gez, 30, was shot while en route to the delivery room when a Palestinian terrorist opened fire at vehicles in the northern West Bank last night.

During efforts to save her life, doctors performed an emergency C-section. Hours later, the hospital announced the woman’s death.
