Ambassador Yechiel Leiter's Son Remains in Critical Condition After West Bank Attack

Shaare Zedek said Neriya Leiter remains in extremely serious condition after several hours of brain surgery, and doctors are still fighting to save his life.

  • Reservist Neriya Leiter remains in critical condition following a car-ramming terror attack at the Maccabim checkpoint on Route 443, where an IDF force killed the assailant at the scene.
  • The Leiter family previously lost another son, Maj Moshe Yedidya Leiter, who was killed in northern Gaza on Nov. 10, 2023, while serving as a company commander in the 551 Brigade's 697 Battalion.
  • On Thursday, Israeli Ambassador Yechiel Leiter stated at Shaare Zedek Medical Center that his son's life remains in danger, though his condition stabilized following complex brain surgery.
  • Amid the ongoing medical crisis, a granddaughter was born to one of Leiter's daughters overnight, treated in the same hospital 40 meters away from Neriya.
  • Despite his brother's death, Neriya regarded reserve service as an enormous privilege, and his father requested the public continue reciting Psalms and praying for his son's recovery.
