ZAKA Leader Who Saved Baby In 2001 Beis Yisrael Suicide Attack Attends His Engagement 19 Years Later

 

In March 2002 a terrible terror attack took place in the Beis Yisrael neighborhood, as a suicide bomber dressed like a chareidi exploded himself, killing 10 people including six children and injuring more than 60 including a pregnant woman who lost the twins she was carrying. Many Israelis however remember from this attack the picture of Bentzi Oiring, the head of the Jerusalem branch of ZAKA, holding an injured baby in his hands.

The baby had been among those lying injured but a fire engine at the scene was nervous that there would be another explosion as a fire was raging at the scene and did not let people go past. Oiring however slipped away from the firemen and took the baby away with him just before another explosion occurred, thus saving his life.

This week, exactly 19 years after the terrible explosion, the baby, who grew up as Shimon Levy, got engaged and Bentzi Oiring came to celebrate and to tell the miraculous story of his survival.
