Neriah Laiter, son of Israel's Ambassador to the US Yechiel Laiter, was released from Shaare Zedek Medical Center on Wednesday to continue rehabilitation. Laiter was critically injured about six weeks ago in a vehicular ramming attack at the Maccabim checkpoint. He was initially admitted to Shaare Zedek in critical condition, unconscious but breathing independently. He has since been transferred for neurological rehabilitation and head trauma treatment at Sheba Medical Center.

According to the hospital, Laiter arrived at the trauma room in a life-threatening state, facing immediate danger for days. He spent several weeks in the general intensive care unit, sedated and on a ventilator. After his condition stabilized and he was no longer in mortal danger, he was moved to the neurological and neurosurgical intensive care unit.

Laiter's brother, Major Moshe Yedidya Laiter, fell during the Swords of Iron War in November 2023. The Laiter family expressed gratitude to the medical teams at Shaare Zedek for their dedicated and exceptional care. The family requested privacy and asked the public to pray for his recovery.
