Tzvika Bar-Chai reported on Friday morning that his son Dvir [ben Leah] remains comatose in serious condition, now six weeks since being injured in operation Cast Lead.

Mr. Bar-Chai added that on Tu B’Shvat, they saw “very slight signs of improvement” and quickly added, “But Dvir is still in need of everyone’s tefillos”.

Dvir is being transported to Beit Levenstein Rehabilitation Hospital for continued long-term care.

Regarding 7-year-old Orel [ben Angela] Yalizroff, who was critically wounded in a Katyusha attack in Beersheva, the family reports he is showing miraculous recovery and they are grateful for all the tefillos and call on Am Yisrael to continue davening for Orel.
