\r\n\t<\/p>

\r\nA seven-year-old Israeli girl from the southern Israeli city of Arad, who was seriously injured in an Iranian ballistic missile attack last month, has been discharged from the hospital<\/strong><\/p>

She is in good condition and will continue her recovery at home with her family.<\/p>

\r\nThe news was released Thursday by the Schneider Children’s Medical Center in Petah Tikva.\r\n<\/p>

\r\nThe incident occurred on March 21 during “Operation Roaring Lion,” when Iran launched missiles against Israel.<\/p>

\r\nOne of them directly hit the city of Arad, injuring more than 100 people.<\/p>

\r\nThe girl was at home when the impact shattered the windows.<\/p>

\r\nGlass shards struck her abdomen, causing severe bleeding and serious liver injuries, including a ruptured blood vessel and damage to the bile duct.<\/p>

\r\nShe arrived at Soroka Hospital in Beersheba in critical condition, with injuries to multiple body systems.\r\n<\/p>

\r\nAfter being stabilized in Beersheva, the child was transferred to the pediatric intensive care unit at Schneider Hospital.<\/p>

\r\nThere, she underwent several complex surgeries.<\/p>

\r\nThe medical team, led by Dr. Michael Gurevich, head of the pediatric liver transplant department, described the case as a “complex multisystem injury with an immediate risk of death.” A joint effort from several surgical specialties was necessary to control the bleeding and repair the liver and biliary system.<\/p>

\r\nThanks to the rapid intervention and continuous care, her life was saved.\r\n<\/p>

\r\nThe girl’s father expressed deep gratitude to the hospital staff.<\/p>

\r\n“We went through moments that cannot be described in words,” he said in a statement released by the medical center.<\/p>

\r\n“We saw our daughter fighting for her life, and the Schneider team never gave up on her, not for a moment.<\/p>

\r\nThanks to them, she is with us today.<\/p>

\r\nWe have no words to thank everyone for their professionalism, dedication, and compassion.”\r\n<\/p>

\r\nThe girl was discharged earlier this week.<\/p>

\r\nNow at home, she continues with medical follow-up for a full recovery.<\/p>

\r\nThis case represents a story of overcoming adversity amidst conflict, highlighting the dedicated work of Israeli healthcare professionals who face serious challenges in emergency situations.\r\n<\/p>

\r\nThe Iranian attack also hit Dimona, another nearby city, injuring dozens of people.<\/p>

\r\nIn total, the missiles launched by Iran caused hundreds of injuries in Israel, but cases like this girl’s demonstrate the resilience and advancement of medicine in saving lives even in the most difficult conditions.<\/p>

\r\nThe family and community now celebrate her return home, a sign of hope in turbulent times.\r\n<\/p>

\r\nThis recovery brings relief to all who followed the child’s ordeal and reinforces the importance of excellent medical care in times of crisis.<\/p>

\r\nMay she soon return to playing as a child, with all the joy she deserves.<\/p>
