'Miracle' - Mortally Wounded Soldier Fully Recovers

Terrific news in the utterly avoidable daily Kassam attacks on Israel:

Sarit Rosenblum and Dan Evan report in today's edition of Yediot Ahronot that Private Avi Dorfman has fully recovered after shards of a Qassam rocket fired from Gaza entered his brain last September.

Dorfman was among the 69 soldiers wounded in the attack on the Israel Defense Forces camp in Zikim, south of Ashkelon, where the new recruits were staying in tents.

Dorfman, nicknamed "Genius" by his friends, was serving in the IDF after declining the offer of a scholarship at UCLA.

Doctors first classified Dorfman as mortally wounded. He was unconscious for three weeks.

"Everyone was certain he would remain with serious damage but it is not possible to identify any sign of the serious damage he sustained. His intellectual ability and cognitive function is completely restored," his doctors report.
