Shaare Tzedek Hospital told reporters Saturday evening that the condition of Yehuda Glick, who was shot point blank by an Arab terrorist ten days ago, continues to improve.
“Glick is communicating with his surroundings and recognizing his relatives,” the hospital said. “There has also been an improvement in weaning him from the artificial respirator and it is almost certain that in the beginning of the week, the process will be completed and he will start to breathe independently.”
Three of the people wounded in Wednesday’s vehicular terror attack in Jerusalem are still hospitalized at Shaare Tzedek. Two are in serious condition, and have stabilized somewhat, and a third is in moderate condition.
Glick – who founded and heads the LIBA Initiative for Jewish Freedom on the Temple Mount – was shot in the chest outside the Begin Heritage Center in Jerusalem, after the shooter pulled up in a motorcycle or scooter, and confirmed Glick’s identity before shooting.
He had been speaking, minutes before being shot, at an event for Jewish rights on the Temple Mount that had hosted leading religious figures and MKs.
Glick has undergone numerous surgeries and had a part of one lung removed, although Shaare Tzedek staff said that he “will likely return to full function.”
