Daniel Wultz, the 16-year-old American tourist who was critically wounded in the Pessah suicide bombing in Tel Aviv, died of his wounds on Sunday, the Sourasky Medical Center (Ichilov Hospital) in Tel Aviv said.
The passing of Wultz brings the death toll in the attack to 11, only two days after another victim, 26-year-old Lior Enidzer, succumbed to extensive wounds suffered in the attack. Enidzer's death came a mere two weeks after his marriage to his wife Maya.
Wultz is to be flown home for burial on Monday.
He suffered severe blood loss from his wounds and was treated by an experimental drug NovoSeven. He continued to be attached to a respirator, but was able to communicate with his family by batting his eyelids. Even then, however, doctors stressed that his life was still in grave danger. He ultimately lost consciousness again during the past week and suffered multiple organ failure.
Two weeks after the attack, 48 eighth-graders from his Miami school in Weston, Florida, assembled at the Sourasky Medical Center to pray for Wultz's recovery.
Tuly (Yekutiel) Wultz, who was lightly wounded while seated beside his son at the eatery where the bombing occurred, also spoke to the students. "Unfortunately, I remember everything," he said. "Daniel was thrown into my hands, and asked me to pick him up. But when I saw the extent of his injuries, I laid him down to wait for an ambulance. I held his hand and told him I loved him, and he told me he loved me."
Daniel's mother Cheryl was on her way to meet her husband and son when the attack took place, and has been at his bedside ever since. His sister Amanda, a college student at Tufts University in Massachusetts, arrived in Israel with Cheryl's mother, Margie Cantor, several days later. Additional family members from the US had also arrived to offer their support.
The other victims included Philip Balahsan, 45, from Ashdod, a father of two children who were wounded as well; Victor Erez, 60, from Givatayim; the restaurant's security guard Binyamin Hafuta, 47, from Lod; Ariel Darhi from Bat Yam; Lili Yunis, 42, from Oranit; David Shmuelov, 28, from Holon; Piroshka Boda, 50, and Rosalia Basalia, 48, both Romanian citizens.
Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for the attack, which also wounded nearly 70 people. The same restaurant was hit in a suicide attack three months ago, wounding 20 people, one of whom is still hospitalized in serious condition in Ichilov Hospital.
The murder of an American by Islamic Jihadists should be regarded as an act of war against us all.
Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.
Absolutely. We need to press demands to prosecute anyone who participated in the funding, provided the explosives, or helped deliver him to the target. We all remember what our greatest president did to Libya.
Exactly.
This cannot be ignored.
Sorry, I don't have time to read this now. I'll look for it on the front page of the New York Times tomorrow.
You said -- "The murder of an American by Islamic Jihadists should be regarded as an act of war against us all."
Oh..., will this one death (compared to 9/11) be the one that finally starts the "War on Islam"?

Ha, ha....
(But your sarcasm is well placed, and the fact is that we all here know that this will not ever turn up on the front page of NYT, which shows just how digusting those so called newspapers are.)
And yet many American Jews...perhaps folks just like this family but without the terrible personal loss ... will vote for the Hillary Clintons and John Kerrys when the next Presidential election rolls around. And so will our future, as apologists to and seekers of appeasement toward, the perpetrators of murder in the name of allah.
God Save Israel, God Save America and God Bless Daniel and other victims of the jihadist madness.

Another American killed by Arab terrorists. Not that anyone seems to care.
Sad news. May peace be upon him...
Another innocent killed by these animals.
This makes me so sad. Why is the U.S. renewing funds to the palestinians when Hamas rejoiced in this bombing?
It won't even make the MSM news.
Our State Department has gotten "stuck on stupid"..
