“Terror Won’t Defeat Us” – American inured in Hebron vows to Return


 


The youth from Long Island who was wounded in a terror attack while spending
Shabbat in Hevron has recently returned to New York along with his
father.


 


Eli Borochov was shot in the thigh by an Arab sniper and taken to Sharei
Tsedek Hospital. He was released from the hospital this afternoon, along with his
friend who was also wounded in the same attack.


 


“The bullet entered and left his leg. This was a great miracle from heaven,”
Eli’s father, Ronen Borochov, told Arutz Sheva. “I don’t understand how it could be that
the American embassy is not interested in the victim’s welfare even though the hospital
updated them when it turned out that a Jewish American youth was wounded. They didn’t
care at all.”


 


At the same time, Ronen says that the Israeli authorities cared for his son
from the moment that he was wounded until they reached the airport. “I want to thank the
wonderful doctors at Sha’arei Tzedek, the Hevron yeshiva, and all the good Jews, both
religious and not religious, who took care of all of our needs from the moment we
reached the hospital. ‘Who is like you, Israel?’ It is very
moving.”


 


He further promised that next year he will return to Hebron for Shabbat
parshat Chayei Sarah, along will his children. “Terror won’t defeat us – the answer
to the terrorists is that I will come to Hevron, not only with just one child but with
my whole family.”
