Elisha was critically wounded and underwent a long series of treatments at Shaare Zedek that included surgery, plastics, orthopedics and more. Now, after a long hospitalization of 53 days and arduous treatments, Elisha is being released for rehabilitation at Tel Hashomer.
Upon his release from the hospital, Elisha said: "The doctor who evacuated me in Yas'our insisted on evacuating all the wounded here. It's a great miracle that I landed here and not in another hospital. There is no way I would be so healthy, happy, and optimistic without you. Thank you so much for saving my life."
