An IDF soldier who was fatally injured when an alleged gunman at a military base last week was given his lungs to a coronavirus patient.
Staff Sgt. Yonatan Granot, 22, died Friday and was laid to rest Sunday at Kibbutz Einat in central Israel. Five Granot recipients, who donated an organ, died.
His young soldier survived his mother and brother, who allowed his lungs to be transplanted into patients suffering from COVID-19 at Sheba Medical Center in the first operation of its kind there. and Israel.
Granot was seriously injured when he was shot with the weapon which showed an investigation not loading properly after target use.
The wounded soldier was found at around 10pm last Tuesday by companions in a rather secret place of the base.
He was lying on the ground initially suffering from head injuries believed to have been caused by stones thrown at him. Subsequent initial examination revealed that he had been hit by an IDF bullet.
The soldier was taken to Hadassah Medical Center, Ein Kerem in Jerusalem. He was rushed to surgery, where his wounds were found to have been caused by gunshot wounds.
The initial study showed that the medal was used for training by soldiers preparing for operational deployment in the Gaza Strip.
After the soldiers finished using the firing range, the commander of the plane fired their weapons and placed them close to the position of the company guard.
A commanding officer then picked up one of the weapons, and randomly identified it in the area where the soldier was walking with a companion.
He apparently fired a bullet and hit the soldier in the head, causing him to fall and lose consciousness.
GOC Southern Command, Gen. Herzi Halevi, named a team of experts called the commander of the Harel Brigade, Col. Elad Schwartz, to fully investigate the circumstances of the incident.
The team will look at the pre-incident incidents, the safety criteria in the unit, and how the incident was handled.
The team will also examine the normal behavior of the entire army when it comes to handling weapons.
