The baby was named Ravid Haim, in accordance with his mother’s wishes:

The baby of Tzeela Gez, who was shot and killed in a Palestinian terror attack in the northern West Bank earlier this month, died in the hospital after doctors struggled to keep him alive for the past 15 days, the Samaria Regional Council and the hospital announced Thursday morning.

Gez, 30, was shot and fatally wounded as her husband was driving her to the hospital to give birth on the night of May 14 from their home in the Bruchin settlement.

She was rushed to hospital after the terror attack, and her baby was delivered by emergency C-section at Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikva.

“As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you; and you will be comforted over Jerusalem” (Isaiah 66:13). Please pray that God will comfort Hananel (Tzeela’s widower and Ravid Haim’s father) as he endures this unimaginable loss, and may God give peace to all those in the Holy Land who mourn the loss of loved ones.
