Staff Sergeant Yehonatan Yitzchak Samo was brought to Rabin Medical Center from Gaza with critical wounds. Sadly, Staff Sergeant Samo could not be saved. However, he left a legacy by donating his organs, which will enable six patients to live.
Staff Sergeant Yehonatan Yitzchak Samo from Carmei Tzur recently passed away at the Rabin Medical Center in Greater Tel Aviv, after succumbing to injuries he suffered in combat in Northern Gaza.
Thanks to Staff Sergeant Samo, doctors were able to save the lives of six people, including an eight-month-old infant who received the lifesaving transplant of his donated liver lobe.
The infant’s mother told the fallen soldier’s mother, “I am so moved. I don’t have the words to thank you. My little girl has been born again thanks to your son.”
A family member said, “On his own accord, Yehonatan pledged himself as an organ donor ... There wasn’t a moment’s doubt about whether to donate his organs. That was just like Yehonatan. He approached everything with a smile, an understanding heart, unwavering commitment, and an innate desire to assist others.
The fact that a portion of him will live on, continuing to aid others, is a truly uplifting thought. During the traditional shiva mourning period, his selfless act inspired many to pledge as organ donors, and we believe more will follow suit.”
Dr. Michael Bahar, Rabin Medical Center's Director of the newly created Rehabilitation Department dedicated to war casualties, outlines how this war has changed the future of rehabilitation and post-op therapy.
The missile attack from Iran launched this weekend against Israel was meant to be retaliation against the strike in Syria that killed a top Iranian general.
“It has been, indeed, a historically testing time for us – as all Israelis and Jews throughout the world have felt in different ways.
Rabin Medical Center in Greater Tel Aviv has been receiving war casualties from both the north and south, and Dr. Felix Benninger, deputy director of the neurology department and epilepsy specialist at Rabin Medical Center has noted an increase of soldiers with head injuries developing epileptic symptoms.
During my rounds in the Neurology department I begin talking with a patient and his wife.

“…that the Catholic archbishop of New York would be honored by an acclaimed hospital in Israel reflects the touching and tender climate of religious amity that radiates from this city. That Christians, Jews, Moslems, and representatives of so many diverse creeds would come together in fun, fellowship, and support of a healing center in Tel Aviv is a tribute to a religious freedom and respect for belief that is not to be taken lightly, since in most parts of the world where such an event would be thought science fiction.”
“President John F. Kennedy is one of my heroes. And, it is he who said about Israel: “It is the child of hope … it has not been a Jewish cause – any more than Irish independence was solely the concern of Americans of Irish descent.”
I cannot think of any institution which better exemplifies this statement than the Rabin Medical Center, nor any American organization which lives this maxim than the American Friends.
Millions of people – of all faiths and all nationalities – have walked through the doors of the Rabin Medical Center with the understanding that they will be treated with dignity, by some of the best medical staff, and in one of the most-advanced health-care settings in the entire world.
The doors of the Rabin Medical Center are doors of hope.”
“[Rabin Medical Center] truly also embodies the vision of someone I followed closely as a child, someone who dominated the news all the time. [ Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin] was an extraordinary individual who had a vision that we could provide services regardless of religious background, ethnicity or where people came from, that everybody was entitled to quality healthcare.
We want to make sure that people living everywhere, particularly in Israel, have access to quality healthcare, high quality healthcare at Israel’s Rabin Medical Center serving over a million people a year. And the workers there are extraordinary individuals who are filled with such compassion for their fellow man and woman, and what we saw during this pandemic was an outpouring of that love despite the risks. They showed up day after day after day, and for that we honor them. But to simply call people heroes doesn't seem like enough.
