After the newborn’s mother – 30-year-old Tzeela Gez – was fatally shot in a terror attack on her way to the hospital to give birth, doctors miraculously performed a C-section to save the baby’s life. Now doctors say the baby is still in serious but stable condition, reports The Jerusalem Post:

A newborn baby delivered by emergency cesarean section is currently in serious but stable condition at Schneider Children’s Medical Center as of Friday morning, after his mother was fatally shot on the way to the hospital.

Hospital officials reported a slight improvement in the baby’s condition overnight. “Our medical teams are prepared and continue to provide dedicated and comprehensive care,” the center said.

We continue to pray for God’s comfort over the loved ones of Tzeela Gez, but we are so happy that the baby is finally in stable condition. And we pray for the newborn’s full recovery.
