Dovi and Eleazar, the two brothers who were injured in the overnight attack, were reunited this morning (Sunday), a few hours after the attack near David's Tomb in Jerusalem, in the orthopedic department at Hadassah Mount Scopus.
19-year-old Elazar, who was hit in the shoulder by a gunshot in the attack that happened at night, has been hospitalized since the night and was diagnosed with a fracture.
Dr. Assaf Kidar, director of the trauma unit at Hadassah Mount Scopus, informs that he will be left for treatment in the next day.
Eleazar has five brothers, with one of them Dobi, was at a bus station last night when the shooting attack began.
The brothers, accompanied by their parents, met and hugged excitedly and of course proceeded to show each other the injuries on their shoulders.

Yair, the brother of the two, said: "My two brothers were together last night, waiting for the bus in Ma'ale HaShalom.
19-year-old Elazar helped the woman get on the bus and my 16.5-year-old brother Dovi was still at the station when the shooting began.
Both were hit in the shoulder and were evacuated by MDA.
Elazar was hospitalized here in Hadassah Mount Scopus and Dovi in Shaare Zedek.
When the incident happened Dobi called himself and told us that they were both hit by a bullet and that he was conscious and that he was quite fine.
It calmed us down.
He even managed to say that Lazarus - who is hospitalized here in Hadassah, helps treat the wounded in the field, because he provides first aid for the MDA."
He also added: "We were shocked and immediately left for the hospitals where they were admitted. Now Dobi has arrived and we have been reunited, it's just happy. The orthopedists at the Hadassah Hospital said that there was great luck in the location of the injury, it's a real miracle, because if the bullet had hit a few centimeters inside, it wouldn't have been In life. What happened is a great miracle, because five minutes earlier a bus full of people passed by the station, there were dozens there, and then my brothers' bus arrived, which was really emptier. It's the bus that was hit. That way, thank God, fewer people were injured.'
