In Hadassah, Mount Scopus, 19-year-old Elazar, who was hit in the shoulder by a gunshot in the attack that happened last night (Sunday) in Jerusalem, has been hospitalized since last night. Dr. Assaf Kider, the director of the trauma unit at Hadassah Har Ha Scopus, informs that the condition of 19-year-old Elazar is mild, he was diagnosed with a fractured shoulder and will be left for treatment in the next day.
Eleazar has 5 brothers, with one of them he was at a bus station last night when the shooting attack began. Yair, the brother of the two, said that “my two brothers were together last night, waiting for the bus at Ma’ale HaShalom. Eleazar, 19, helped the woman get on the bus and my brother Dovi, 16.5, was still at the station when the shooting started. Both were hit in the shoulder and were evacuated from there by Med “A, Elazar was hospitalized here in Hadassah Mount Scopus and Dovi in Shaare Zedek.”
“When the incident happened, Dobi called himself and told us that they were both hit by a bullet and that he was conscious and that he was quite fine. This reassured us. He even managed to say that Lazarus – who is hospitalized here in Hadassah, is helping to treat the wounded in the field, because he is an MDA paramedic,” he added. “We were shocked and immediately left for the hospitals where they were hospitalized. Now Dobi has arrived and we have been reunited, it’s just happy.”
The orthopedists at Hadassah Hospital said that there was great luck in the location of the injury. “This is a real miracle, because if the bullet had hit a few centimeters inside, he would not be alive,” said the family. “What happened is a great miracle, because five minutes earlier a bus full of people passed through the station, there were dozens there, and then my brothers’ bus arrived, which was really emptier. It’s the bus that was hit. That’s how fewer people were injured in Israel.”
The brothers, accompanied by their parents, met and hugged excitedly and of course proceeded to show each other the injuries on their shoulders.
