Maj. Boaz Tamam, who was seriously wounded fighting in Lebanon on March 29, was released today from Haifa’s Rambam Health Care Campus, the hospital says.
Tamam, the deputy commander of the 401st Armored Brigade’s 9th Battalion, lost his leg and suffered severe burns in his other leg in a Hezbollah anti-tank guided missile attack on March 29. One of his troops, Sgt. Liran Ben Zion, 19, was killed in the attack.
The doctors fought for the injured leg and managed to save it. He now begins rehabilitation at Tel Aviv’s Sheba Medical Center.
Tamam is one of 107 soldiers who have been treated so far at Rambam from the fighting in Lebanon.
