A young couple who were injured and lost their baby in a terror attack in 2018 delivered a healthy baby boy this week, at the same hospital they were treated for the tragic attack, Shaare Zedek Medical Center announced.
Shira Ish-Ran was 30 weeks pregnant when a Palestinian gunman shot and seriously wounded her at the Ofra settlement near Jerusalem. Her baby, named Amiad Yisrael, was delivered by doctors at Shaare Zedek in an emergency C-section but died four days later; the conditions of Shira and her husband Amichai, who was lightly injured in the incident, steadily improved.
