Shira Ish-Ran, the woman who was critically injured in Sunday night’s terror attack in the West Bank settlement of Ofra, regains consciousness and reunites with her husband Amichai for the first time.

The couple’s newborn baby, who was delivered prematurely by doctors in the aftermath of the attack, is still fighting for his life.

Amichai enters Shira’s room at Shaare Zedek hospital with flowers. The two hold hands and smile but Shira is still unable to speak after undergoing several surgeries.

“We have no words to describe the joy, even though she is still in serious condition,” says Shira’s father, Haim Silverstein, adding that the family hasn’t yet updated her on the condition of the baby to avoid worrying her in her current condition.
