The parents of Sgt. First Class Sivan Weil say the organs of their son who was killed in Gaza have been donated to several people.
Weil, 20, of the Commando Brigade’s Egoz unit, was from Ra’anana. He was badly wounded in the Khan Younis area of the southern Gaza Strip on Friday and he died in Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba on Sunday.
Weil’s heart was transplanted into a 45-year-old man and his lungs into a 37-year-old man at Sheba Medical Center. One of his kidneys went to a 66-year-old man at Hadassah Medical Center, and the other, along with his pancreas, to a 48-year-old man at Beilinson Hospital. Weil’s liver was transplanted into a 40-year-old woman at Beilinson.
“We hope that the donation of Sivan’s organs will save lives, and thereby forever memorialize our angel,” the parents say.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
