IDF Soldier Killed in Lebanon Donated Organs to Six Patients
(Jerusalem Post) Dr. Itay Gal - Capt. Shahar Gamla, 23, was critically injured by an explosive drone in Lebanon and died on Saturday. On Sunday, his heart and lungs were transplanted into two men at Rabin Medical Center. His liver was transplanted into a man at Ichilov, with a lobe transplanted into a 7-year-old girl at Schneider Children's Medical Center. His kidneys were transplanted into a man and woman at Beilinson. His corneas have not yet been transplanted, and his skin was donated to the National Skin Bank, which treats burn victims. Leah, Shahar's mother, said: "There is nothing greater than organ donation; it lets Shahar live on in other people. With joy and great love."
