The parents of the late Eitam Magini, who was killed in a terrorist attack on Dizengoff Street and had signed an Eddie card indicating the seal's desire to donate his organs after his death, sought to honor his request and save lives.
One cornea was implanted in a 55-year-old woman, Mitra Yasharim, from Rishon Lezion, who also had a kidney transplant 25 years ago and says that she gave birth to two daughters after the kidney transplant.
Now, after the corneal transplant, she is back in sight and thanks from the bottom of her heart to the family.
The second cornea was implanted in a 75-year-old woman, Lyubov Kostarkion, who thanked the family for giving her a light eye.
The transplants were performed at the Ichilov and Soroka hospitals.
"This is Eitam Magini's latest contribution to Israeli society," his parents, Iris and Eyal, said.
Eitam Magini, was 27, when he was killed in a terrorist attack at the Ilka Bar on Dizengoff Street in Tel Aviv. Security forces chased the terrorist through the city streets with guns drawn as they passed from house to house and alley after alley to locate him.
