Hospital says baby of Israeli woman killed in West Bank has died
Representative AI image JERUSALEM: The baby of an Israeli woman killed by a Palestinian gunman in the occupied West Bank two weeks ago has died, the hospital treating the newborn said Thursday. On May 14, Tzeela Gez was on her way from her home in the West Bank settlement of Bruchin to a Tel Aviv hospital to give birth when the gunman opened fire on the vehicle she was travelling in with her husband. Gez, 37, died of her wounds, while her baby was delivered by emergency caesarean section, the hospital that treated them said. But on Thursday, Schneider Children's Medical Center announced "with regret that last night the baby Ravid Chaim, who was born after the terror attack in Samaria (the northern West Bank) about two weeks ago in which his mother, Tzeela Gez, of blessed memory, was murdered, has passed away". Ravid had been in "serious condition in the neonatal intensive care unit", where doctors had "fought for his life", the hospital added. "Unfortunately, despite the many efforts, the hospital was forced in recent hours to declare his death." The Israeli military said last week that the shooter had been identified and "eliminated" following a manhunt in the West Bank. Like all Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories, Bruchin is considered illegal under international law. "There are no words that can console the murder of a newborn infant together with his mother," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Zumbido e perda de audição?

Live updates: Israel OKs more settlements in the West Bank as Gaza strikes kill at least 13
Israel announced Thursday it will establish 22 Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank, including the legalization of outposts already built without government authorization. Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip, where Palestinians have become increasingly desperate for food after nearly three months of Israeli border closures, killed at least 13 people overnight, local health officials said. Israel captured the West Bank, along with Gaza and east Jerusalem, in the 1967 Mideast war and the Palestinians want all three territories for their future state. Most of the international community views settlements as illegal and an obstacle to resolving the decades-old conflict. In 2005, Israel withdrew its settlements from the Gaza Strip, but leading figures in the current government have called for them to be re-established and for much of the Palestinian population of the territory to be resettled elsewhere through what they describe as voluntary emigration. The war in Gaza began with Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023, attack, in which militants stormed into Israel, killing some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducting 251. Hamas still holds 58 hostages, around a third of them alive, after most of the rest were released in ceasefire agreements. Israeli forces have rescued eight and recovered dozens of bodies. Israel's retaliatory offensive has killed over 54,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, according to Gaza's Health Ministry, which does not say how many of the dead were civilians or combatants. The Israeli military says troops recently located and destroyed an attack tunnel stretching several hundred meters (yards) in the southern Gaza Strip. It said the tunnel was found in a self-declared security zone, apparently referring to the now mostly evacuated southern city of Rafah, which Israeli forces have severed from the rest of the territory. The army said the tunnel had several exits, some rigged with explosives. It said militants emerged from one of the shafts during the operation and were killed. Hamas built hundreds of miles (kilometers) of tunnels beneath Gaza in the years leading up to the Oct. 7, 2023, attack that ignited the war. Its fighters use them to shelter from Israeli airstrikes and move around undetected. Hamas has also held hostages in the tunnels. Israeli newborn dies after mother was killed in West Bank attack An Israeli baby who was delivered after his mother was fatally shot in an attack in the West Bank has died. A Palestinian militant opened fire on Tzeela Gez' car as her husband drove her through the Israeli-occupied West Bank on May 14. The couple was heading to the hospital to give birth. She later died from her wounds, but doctors delivered the baby by emergency cesarean section. Hamas praised the attack but did not claim it. The military announced days later that its forces had killed the suspected attacker. 'It is with great sadness and pain that we learned this morning of the death of baby Ravid Chaim, son of Tzeela and Hananel Gez,' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement. 'There are no words that can offer consolation for the murder of a newborn baby along with his mother.'

Baby of terror victim Tzeela Gez dies from wounds two weeks after attack
The baby had been in critical condition since birth, receiving care in the neonatal intensive care unit. Ravid Haim, the infant delivered in an emergency Caesarean section followinga deadly terrorist attack near Peduel and Bruchin in western Samaria, was pronounced dead early Wednesday morning at Schneider Children's Medical Center in Petah Tikva. He had been in critical condition since birth, receiving intensive care in the neonatal intensive care unit. Despite prolonged resuscitation efforts, hospital staff were ultimately forced to declare his death. Raviv's mother, Tzeela Gez, 33, a resident of Bruchin and mother of three, was critically wounded in the shooting and later died of her wounds. According to an initial investigation by security forces, the couple had been traveling to the hospital for the delivery when a terrorist opened fire from a passing vehicle using an automatic weapon. Tzeela was hit and evacuated unconscious to Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikva, where doctors performed emergency surgery in a bid to save the baby. Her husband, approximately 40, sustained light wounds and was released from medical care shortly after being treated. Doctors at Beilinson's trauma unit managed to deliver the baby and launched immediate efforts to stabilize him. Tzeela, however, succumbed to her injuries shortly after the procedure. The baby was then transferred to Schneider Medical Center, where medical teams continued fighting for his life until his condition deteriorated overnight. Tzeela Gez was described by residents of Bruchin as a devoted mother and a central figure in the community. According to family acquaintances, shortly before the attack, her husband notified his workplace that he would not be coming in, explaining that they were on their way to the hospital to welcome a new child. Minutes later, the shooting occurred. In response to the attack, security forces launched a manhunt for the assailant. IDF troops, Israel Police officers, and Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) agents deployed additional forces, set up roadblocks, and restricted movement to and from several communities in the area. The Barkan and Ariel industrial zones were also closed to prevent the terrorist from escaping. Following her death, the Gez family decided todonate Tzeela's organs. Her corneas were preserved and are scheduled to be transplanted — one to a child at Schneider and the other at Beilinson — offering restored vision to two patients. Hananel Gez, her husband, said, 'Tzeela always gave light in her life, and now even in death, she continues to give. Tzeela always tried to see the good and bring light to the world, in her life and in her death.' Samaria Regional Council Head, Yossi Dagan, said, "This is a double murder! The world should be shocked. We demand a clear Zionist response of building and more building in memory of Ravid and Tzeela. Israeli citizens demand a military ground maneuver in the village of Bruchin, and the demolition of all illegal houses that endanger travelers on the road." "To our astonishment, this still has not happened. We embrace the family and will stand by them in everything they need. The entire nation of Israel and the world are mourning this barbaric and horrific murder," he concluded. Meital Ben Yosef, Chair of the Bruchin community, also expressed deep sorrow. "The community of Bruchin mourns and grieves the passing of the infant Ravid Haim ben Tzeela (may God avenge her blood). A baby who was meant to be born into joy and great anticipation took his final breath this morning after struggling between life and death since the day he was born, exactly two weeks ago." "A vile and despicable terrorist murdered a mother and her son together in an attempt to erase and destroy the people of Israel." "We will not be silent and we will not stop—we will continue and double our efforts to memorialize and respond to this horrific murder. We will add building and settlement, and expand the boundaries of life and holiness. We will make it absolutely clear to all our enemies: we are here, in the land of our forefathers, and we will remain here forever!"
