The condition of Lt. Nadav, the paratrooper officer who neutralized a terrorist who carried out a shooting attack on Jews in the City of David and was seriously injured, continues to be serious and this morning (Wednesday) there was a deterioration in his condition, according to a report from Shaare Zedek Hospital in Jerusalem. His full prayer name: Nadav Haim ben Irit Chaya.
“This is a very difficult trial for all of us and we are confident that God will help us”
Last week, the officer’s family said that “apparently, a long rehabilitation process will be required. This is a very difficult trial for all of us and we are confident that God will help us to endure it and bring a complete and speedy recovery to Nadav.” We believe that we must grow from every crisis and also from this difficult crisis, our job is to build and be built. We invite the entire people of Israel to join us in building another floor on all levels: between man himself, between man and his nation, man with his friend and man with place.”

“We would like to thank you for the tremendous support and the warm embrace that we are receiving these days from the entire people of Israel, which is revealed in all its glory and proves that we are all one nation with one heart. May the message of unity and love of Israel go out from this intensive care room – where visitors come from all parts of the country and the shades of the people, without conditions, despite and with all the disputes”.
“With his body he protected his environment and this while he was wounded”
