The Zioneer reports that reserve soldier Neria Lieter remains in life-threatening condition. The report did not disclose the circumstances of his injury or his current location.
The Zioneer Intelligence Desk reported Thursday morning that reserve soldier Neria Lieter remains in life-threatening condition, consistent with medical assessments since the Wednesday car-ramming terror attack near Beit Horon in Judea and Samaria. No additional details were provided regarding the nature of his injuries or the circumstances of the attack. The report did not specify when or where Lieter was wounded.
The attack occurred Wednesday afternoon near the Maccabim checkpoint. Lieter, son of Israeli Ambassador to the US Yechiel Leiter, was critically wounded. He underwent complex brain surgery at Shaare Zedek Medical Center for intracranial hemorrhage, and his condition stabilized but remained life-threatening. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited him and spoke with surgeons. The family issued public calls for prayers. Lieter had continued to serve following his brother's death in Gaza.
As The Zioneer reported throughout Wednesday, the attack was a vehicular ramming, a method used in terror attacks. The hospital confirmed life-saving procedures and a hours-long brain surgery. The attacker was neutralized at the scene.
What remains open: no update on whether his condition has changed since the latest hospital statement. The circumstances of the attack and the attacker's identity are not detailed in this report.
