Niv Nehemia, 42, was stabbed 15 times by a Palestinian Arab terrorist at a Yavneh supermarket on 2nd August 2017. The terrorist was captured shortly after the attack. Nehemia was in very serious condition in the attack and was fighting for his life for days. On Sunday, Nehemia was discharged from the hospital, three-and-a-half weeks after the attack.
Staff at Kaplan Hospital in Rehovot say Nehemia underwent a series of difficult operations to stabilize his condition, but is now expected to make a full recovery. “Niv went through a series of complicated surgeries, and he’s a real soldier,” said Dr. Guy Lin, who manages the emergency care unit at Kaplan which received Nehemia following the attack.
“Together with him, we were able to overcome the difficulties and make amazing progress. He has a long road ahead of him, but in the end, he will make a complete recovery.” Nehemia’s mother, Hadassah, expressed her thanks for her son’s recovery. “We thank the Creator of the World and amazing medical staff at Kaplan who treated Niv with such dedication.”
