Cornea transplant recipients embrace family of brothers slain in terror attack

Four Israelis got back their sight at Beilinson Hospital following the decision of Esti and Shalom Yaniv to donate the corneas of their sons who were murdered in an attack in Huwara.

Ynet reports - They got their eyesight back and came to thank the family: A few days after brothers Hillel and Yagel Yaniv were murdered in an attack in Huwara in the West Bank, their corneas were transplanted into the eyes of four people, who thanks to the brothers got their eyesight back. On Sunday, members of the Yaniv family hugged the recipients of the brother's corneas at Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikva. 

Yitzhak Buskila, 42, from Tirat Carmel, read a letter of thanks with a shaking voice: "You are a larger-than-life family. In the most difficult hours, you thought about giving and loving your fellow man. Thanks to you, my sight has been returned to me. I will never forget the moment they informed me that a donor had been found. Thanks to you, my children will have a father who can see them grow up."

Hillel, 22, and Yagel, 20, were murdered on February 26 in a shooting attack on the car they were riding in through the West Bank town of Huwara, south of Nablus. The terrorist approached the window of the vehicle and shot at the two with a pistol at point blank range. After the shooting, the victim's vehicle collided with other cars at the scene – the car of the head of the Beit El Council. Their parents agreed to donate the brothers' corneas immediately after the attack.

Nine days after the attack, Israel Defense Forces soldiers killed the terrorist who attacked the brothers during an arrest operation.

Parents Shalom and Esti, and their three children - Tzur, Rachel and Kama - hugged the transplant recipients for a long time.
