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.

The baby, who was named Ravid Haim last week by his father in accordance with his late wife’s wishes, had been in serious condition since his birth, and was transferred to Schneider Children’s Hospital.

Schneider Children’s Medical Center, where he was transferred after Beilinson, on Thursday morning announced “with regret that last night the baby Ravid Haim, who was born after the terror attack in Samaria about two weeks ago in which his mother, Tzeela Gez, of blessed memory, was murdered, has passed away.”

The baby had been in serious condition in the neonatal intensive care unit,” the hospital added. “Unfortunately, despite the many efforts, the hospital was forced in recent hours to declare his death.”

The funeral will take place Thursday in Jerusalem.
