A team commander in the Givati Brigade's reconnaissance unit, identified only as 'A', has completed a three-year rehabilitation process following a severe facial injury sustained during combat in the Gaza Strip. Approximately three years ago, 'A' was critically wounded by an RPG blast to his face while fighting in Gaza. Since then, he has undergone extensive and complex treatment, enabling him to speak and eat again. This week marked the completion of his rehabilitation, with the medical team at Sheba Medical Center expressing their excitement. Major Dr. Moshe Spiegel, head of the Oral Rehabilitation Department, described the moment as immense satisfaction, stating, "It's immense satisfaction to see his wonderful smile. This is the least we can do for him and for our heroes." The IDF shared a touching photo on Tuesday showing 'A' with his treatment team, alongside a before-and-after comparison highlighting his restored smile, celebrating the culmination of three years of hard work.
