Yossi Cohen from Ateret was released from the hospital yesterday, recovering from a shooting perpetrated by the same terrorists that the closure sought to trap. \"Thank G-d, he is now out of danger,\" his wife Esti told Arutz-7 today, \"and it is a great miracle. He was hit in the head and neck, but his situation is now relatively good. He needs time, he can\'t yet talk on the phone - but after 2.5 weeks in emergency care, during which we didn\'t know how he would wake up, and now we see him returning to himself, so we feel good.\" Yossi (ben Masouda), father of four, was one of two residents of Ateret - between Ofrah/Beit El and N\'vei Tzuf in southern Shomron - who were wounded in two separate terrorist attacks this past Feb. 25; he was rushed in serious condition to the hospital.
Esti said that she herself was similarly wounded in a terrorist attack while riding in a bus seven years ago: \"It was around the same area and around the same time of year, and I was also seriously wounded and placed in emergency care.\" She also recounted, \"Our oldest son enlisted in the army yesterday. I went with him to the base, and from there to the hospital to be with my husband. We considered pushing off his enlistment, but he\'s together with his group from the hesder yeshiva, so after talking it over we decided not to push it off... The decision to remove the closure from around Ramallah seems a bit premature to me, but in general I have trouble understanding the decisions being made during this recent period... The Regional Commander was here a few days ago, asking about Yossi\'s health, but we didn\'t discuss the details of the army\'s decisions…\"
