The soldier who was attacked in Jaffa underwent surgery overnight Thursday.
A team of three senior neurosurgeons was called in to conduct the complex surgery, as the soldier had suffered from a severe injury to the head and extensive bleeding. "After a complex operation, his condition is now improving. He has regained full consciousness and is defined as moderate and stable," Dr. Ido Strauss, a senior physician in the neurosurgical department at Ichilov updated.
The soldier is hospitalized in the neurosurgical intensive care unit.
