Hospital: Seriously injured victim not yet identified, undergoing emergency surgery

Renee Ghert-Zand is the health reporter and a feature writer for The Times of Israel.

Dr. Alon Schwartz, the head of the trauma department at Shaare Zedek hospital, says the seriously wounded victim from the Jerusalem car-ramming attack has not been identified yet and is undergoing emergency surgery.

“The one wounded person has not been positively identified — an elderly man aged between 60 or 70. He arrived partially conscious and was sedated and intubated in the ER,” Shwartz says.

“He is now in the operating room for an urgent intervention,” he adds.

A second victim, a woman in her 30s, was conscious and suffering injuries to her limbs, he said, adding that she would also be operated on soon.
