Nahum Nevis, 17, who was injured in a ramming attack near the town of Elazar in the West Bank about four months ago, has been discharged from the hospital, and thanked his doctor for saving his life.
Nevis received a severe head injury in the attack and was taken to Hadassah Ein Kerem hospital, where he was operated on and analyzed by neurosurgeon Dr. Samuel Moscovici and anesthesiologist Dr. Abu-Jaris Tamer.
Due to the severity of his head injury, Nevis was forced to stay in the neurosurgical intensive care unit, where he underwent a thorough, step-by-step rehabilitation process, with his family constantly at his side all.
Nahum's parents Zehava and Naftali wrote a thank you letter to the doctors, expressing their appreciation:
"Thank you to the Creator of the world who sent us messengers as angels at Hadassah Ein Kerem," the letter read. "From all of us we thank you – the cleaners whose work is essential; the hardworking, smiling caretakers; the dedicated brothers and sisters, who specialize in working overnight and yet do everything needed despite their fatigue.
"And above all, a big, indescribable thank you to senior neurosurgeon Dr. Samuel Moscovici, who was a faithful and dedicated envoy in the war to save Nahum's life (and not once), who did everything with a great degree of professionalism and with a wide heart," the letter continued. "Thanks to Dr. Guy Rosenthal, director of the Ein Kerem Intensive Care Neurosurgery Unit. [Because of you all,] we have Nahum alive and breathing; [he] is working hard and progressing."
Navis's 20-year-old sister, Noam, was also injured in the August ramming attack. She was moderately wounded and was taken to Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem.
The terrorist was shot and killed by an Israel Police officer. He had just finished his shift in the Hebron area when he noticed a vehicle speeding toward a bus station. He watched the vehicle ram into the two youth. When he saw the driver trying to exit the car, he opened fire and killed the terrorist.
