Terrorist Sentenced to Life for Killing IDF Sergeant Amit Ben Yigal

Terrorist Sentenced to Life for Killing IDF Sergeant Amit Ben Yigal

An Israeli military court has sentenced a terrorist to life in prison for the May 2020 murder of IDF Sergeant Amit Ben Yigal. The verdict followed a six-year legal battle after the 21-year-old soldier was killed by a stone dropped from a rooftop in Yabed, Samaria. The victim's father expressed that while the sentence brings legal justice, it cannot compensate for his son's loss. The convicted terrorist will serve his sentence without parole.

Israeli Startup Phantom GI Raises $5 Million for Minimally Invasive Bowel Stoma Device

Israeli startup Phantom GI has raised $5 million to develop a device that creates a bowel stoma through a single puncture without surgery or general anesthesia. Founded by surgeons Eran Shlomovitz and Eliyahu Bechor, and CEO Ido Sadan, the company aims to provide a less invasive option for patients with bowel obstructions. The device is in preclinical trials, with human studies planned for early 2027 in Canada, followed by FDA approval efforts. This technology could significantly reduce treatment complexity and expand patient access.
