According to Al Jazeera and AFP reports, on September 23 local time, Israeli Ambassador to the United States, Yair Lapid, stated that he was seriously injured in a car collision incident on the occupied West Bank. Lapid is the son of an Israeli reserve soldier.
Israeli police stated in a brief statement that earlier on the 23rd, an 'impaired driving attack' occurred at a checkpoint near the Israeli settlement of Beit Horon, resulting in a soldier being injured. The Palestinian man who drove the vehicle was subsequently killed by Israeli forces.
Leite posted on social media, saying that medical staff are doing their best to save his son Neria. He is seriously injured and requires a “miracle” to survive. Subsequently, Shalem Zederk Hospital in Israel announced that Hanah underwent complex surgery, and her life is still in danger.
According to the office of Israel's Prime Minister, before setting off for the United States to deliver a speech at the United Nations General Assembly, Netanyahu visited Neeria at a hospital.
Netanyahu posted on X platform saying: "I just visited Wright's family... Please pray for Neria's recovery. The entire country is with you."
According to Israeli public broadcasting station reports, Netanyahu was scheduled to attend a speech by Netanyahu at the United Nations in New York on the 24th. He has now left the United States and returned to Israel to be with his son.
Leight's another son, Yedidiah, was killed during a mission in Gaza in November 2023 at the age of 39. This happened just weeks after Israel launched its war against Gaza.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health confirmed that the suspect in the attack is 29-year-old Mahmoud Suleiman, and stated that Israeli authorities have detained his body.
