A 23-year-old pregnant woman was seriously injured in this morning’s shooting attack, Dr. Alon Schwartz, head of the trauma department at Shaare Zedek Medical Center, says in a statement to the press.
The woman is undergoing “significant surgery” but is in a stable condition and there is no risk to her life at present, he says.
Asked about the health of the fetus, he says it is “too early” to know if there’ll be any long-term impact on its development or the pregnancy, but that no issues were found during an initial examination.
In addition to the pregnant woman, three other people wounded in the attack are undergoing treatment at Shaare Zedek. One of the wounded is undergoing surgery currently and a second will enter the operating room later in the day, he says.
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.
