Laiter is still unconscious but is breathing on his own and shows slight movement in his limbs. His family is urging the public to continue praying for his recovery.

Laiter sustained a severe head injury in the attack on Route 443. After arriving at Shaare Zedek Medical Center, he underwent life-saving procedures in the trauma unit and then a complex, multi-hour brain surgery. At the time, the hospital reported his condition as very serious with life-threatening danger.

Neriah Laiter is a reservist combat soldier. His older brother, Maj. (res.) Moshe Yedidya Laiter, was killed in combat in Beit Hanoun in northern Gaza in November 2023. Despite this family loss, Neriah returned to reserve duty and has served hundreds of days on various fronts since October 7.
