A seven-year-old Bedouin girl injured in Iran’s attack on Israel in April has been released from hospital.

Amina Hasuna, a seven-year-old Bedouin girl seriously injured in Iran’s attack on Israel last April, was discharged today after more than three months in hospital.

Hasuna, who “suffered a shrapnel wound to the head from an Iranian missile intercepted about four months ago in the Arad region, was taken to Soroka Medical Center in critical condition and was discharged for rehabilitation today,” he said, a hospital spokeswoman said.

The girl spent two months in the center’s pediatric intensive care unit, under general anesthesia and artificial ventilation. When her condition improved and she regained consciousness, she was transferred to the children’s ward for further treatment.

His injuries were so severe that he had to undergo a series of surgeries and procedures involving, among others, pediatric neurosurgery, plastic surgery, pediatric surgery, occupational therapy, speech therapy and social services.

Soroka’s pediatric neurosurgery department director Miki Gideon, who was one of the doctors who operated on Hasuna, said in a video statement that her injuries were “serious, complex and shocking.”

“Seeing Amina today fully conscious, calling, smiling and preparing for the next stage of rehabilitation fills us with hope and strength,” the doctor added.

The girl was the only one seriously injured in an unprecedented attack involving hundreds of drones and missiles that Iran launched against Israel last April in retaliation for an Israeli attack in Damascus that killed seven Revolutionary Guards. The vast majority of the shells were intercepted before they reached Israeli airspace, but shrapnel from one of the missiles pierced the roof of a Bedouin home in the Negev desert, hitting the sleeping girl in the head.
