One of the victims of last week's bomb attack at a West Bank natural spring is to be released from hospital today while his son remains under treatment.

Rabbi Eitan Shnerb was one of three victims of an improvised explosive device near the Dolev settlement northwest of Jerusalem last Friday.

His daughter Rina was killed by the blast.

Rabbi Shnerb was said to be “moderately” injured while his son Dvir was severely injured in the attack, a statement from the hospital said.

The Hadassah Ein Kerem hospital in Jerusalem had previously said: “May Rina's memory be a blessing, and may Eitan and Dvir have a speedy and full recovery.”

The blast occurred on Friday morning at Danny Spring, near the Dolev settlement northwest of Jerusalem.

Israel's military said the bomb detonated remotely while the group were at the natural spring together.
