Seven-year-old Bedouin girl injured in Iranian attack on Israel in April leaves hospital

Amina Hasuna, a seven-year-old Bedouin girl seriously injured in an Iranian attack against Israel last April, was discharged today after being in hospital for more than three months.

Hassouna, who “received shrapnel wounds to the head from an Iranian missile intercepted in the Arad region about four months ago, was rushed to Soroka Medical Center in critical condition, and was discharged today for rehabilitation,” a hospital spokesman said.

The girl spent two months unconscious and ventilated in the centre’s paediatric intensive care unit. Once her condition improved and she regained consciousness, she was shifted to the children’s department to continue her treatment.

His injuries were so severe that he had to undergo multiple operations and treatments, which included pediatric neurosurgery, plastic surgery, pediatric surgery, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and social service teams.

Mickey Gideon, director of pediatric neurosurgery at Soroka, who was one of the doctors who operated on Hasuna, said in a video message that her injuries were “severe, complex and shocking.”

The doctor further added, “Today, seeing Amina fully conscious, making calls, smiling and getting ready for the next phase of her rehabilitation fills us with hope and strength.”

The girl was the only one seriously injured during the unprecedented attack with hundreds of drones and missiles that Iran launched against Israel in retaliation for an Israeli attack in Damascus last April that killed seven members of the Revolutionary Guard. Most of the projectiles were intercepted before reaching Israeli airspace, but shrapnel from one of the missiles hit the roof of a Bedouin house in the Negev desert, injuring the girl in the head as she slept.
