On video: Injured in a shooting incident in Tel Aviv, March 9, 2023 (documentation on social networks according to Section 27 A of the Copyright Law)
Blogger Lee Menachem, the partner of Or Ascher who was mortally wounded in an attack on Dizengoff Street in Tel Aviv two days ago, published this morning (Saturday) the last conversation between them on WhatsApp, minutes before he was shot.
Or was talking to his partner while getting ready for the wedding he was supposed to go to, and on the way to the place of the celebration he was injured in an attack with his two friends.
The MDA received an initial report about the attack at 8:40 p.m. The worried Menachem apparently heard about the shooting, sent him messages and begged him to answer, but later found out she was lying. His partner, the well-known blogger on Instagram, asked her 73 thousand followers to pray for Or. I have never begged like I am begging now - pray for the love of my life.
At Friday's candles, a prayer of the whole country will save him.
I believe it with all my heart," she wrote.

The director of the Ichilov Hospital, Professor Roni Gamzo, informed yesterday that there has been an improvement in the condition of the injured, but Or and the injured Rotem Mansano, are still in serious condition and are fighting for their lives, and the road to recovery is "still long".
Yesterday, Michael Osdon, who was slightly-moderately injured in the attack, recounted the incident.
"We were walking in Dizengoff from north to south, on the way to a close friend's wedding - and right at the intersection one of my friends who was on my left got shot from behind," Osdon said.
"After that, the terrorist moved to my side and shot me from behind. I moved my head - and my cheek was hit, not the head. He fired one more bullet at the third friend. Unfortunately, both of my friends fell and we need to pray for them to be strong."
"Pray for the love of my life."

"I was holding a bag in my hand and tried to run towards the north and run away and the terrorist kept running after me," he said.
"He fired one more bullet but missed. I continued to the ice cream parlor, and asked them to call an ambulance. The incident continued for another minute and a half until the security forces arrived."
According to Osdon, his friend's wedding took place as usual despite the attack: "I am very happy about it, we must continue in life and we must not stop and give someone the understanding that we do not intend to stay and fight."
Meanwhile, the family of the other two injured are calling for prayers for their safety.
"Rotem is a beloved DJ who makes brides and grooms happy, he is a strong guy and we are sure that he will fight and wait for a further improvement in his condition. We believe that he will return to make many more couples happy at events in the future," Mansano's family said.
fighting for his life.

According to him, he apparently drove the terrorist.
A resident of Kassifa suspected of being involved in the transportation was also arrested.
Later, the two will be brought to a hearing on the extension of their detention at the Magistrate's Court in Tel Aviv.
The IDF has mapped the house of the terrorist who carried out the attack, Mu'taz al-Khwaja, in preparation for its demolition. Large IDF forces entered the village of Nilin where he lives, accompanied by bulldozers from the Engineering Corps.
The father of the terrorist, the leader of Hamas in the village, was arrested and handed over to the Shin Bet investigation. At this stage it is not yet clear if he knew about his son's intention to carry out an attack.
