Mother gives birth to son one month after losing two sons in terror attack
One month after her two sons were killed in a Palestinian terror attack, Jerusalem woman Deborah Paley gave birth to a baby boy on Wednesday morning.
On Feb. 10, Hossein Karake, a 31-year-old Israeli citizen and resident of eastern Jerusalem, rammed his car into a crowd of Israelis at a bus stop in northern Jerusalem, killing Yaakov Yisrael Paley, age six, and his eight-year-old brother, Asher.
A third brother, 10-year-old Moshe, was lightly injured in the attack.
The father, Rabbi Avraham Paley, regained consciousness three weeks after the attack. He left the hospital for the first time on Monday and went straight to pray at the grave of his sons. The 42-year-old Paley faces a lengthy period of rehabilitation and was taken to the cemetery in a wheelchair.
Rabbi Paley was at his wife’s side during the delivery at Jerusalem’s Hadassah University Hospital-Mt. Scopus.
Also killed in the car-ramming attack was 20-year-old Shlomo Lederman, who had gotten married two months earlier.
