IDF Soldier Survives Anti-Tank Rocket Hit
(Jerusalem Post) Judy Siegel-Itzkovich - "R.," 21, an IDF combat soldier serving in Gaza, was hit by an anti-tank rocket, causing blast wounds that shattered his ceramic protective vest. "Within an hour, I was in the operating theater at Soroka [Hospital]," he said. Dr. Danny Fink, director of Shaare Zedek Medical Center's cardiothoracic surgery unit, where R. was later transferred, said, "R.'s ceramic vest saved his life, combined with the immediate response of the teams in the field who properly identified the wound and treated it promptly."
