Sergei Avramyan, 86, whose wife Inga, 82, was killed last month while trying to get him to safety during a rocket attack from Gaza, has died, the Walla news site reports.
No cause of death was given.
Sergei had limited mobility after a car accident left him partially paralyzed and with a leg amputated. He was unable to reach shelter unaided.
He was lightly wounded in the rocket attack on their Rehovot home that killed his wife.
“They didn’t have time to get to the reinforced room,” their grandson told the media at the time.
