Schoolmates from the Florida Jewish school where 16-year-old Daniel Wultz is a student gathered yesterday at Tel Aviv's Sourasky Medical Center to recite prayers for his speedy recovery. Wultz was injured two weeks ago in the Tel Aviv bombing. His father, Yekutiel (Tuly), who sustained light wounds in the incident, also participated in the service, and spoke about the attack in his first public appearance since the April 17 bombing.
"Unfortunately, I remember everything," Tuly told reporters in the hospital corridor, just outside the entrance to the intensive care unit where his son is still hospitalized. "After the bomb went off... I saw the extent of
injuries and asked him to lie down on the floor until the ambulance came.
"I held his hand and told him that I loved him," Tuly, who was born in Israel, added. "Then he told me he loved me too, and those were his last words."
Daniel, who was visiting Israel with his parents for the Passover vacation, was enjoying a shawarma lunch with his father when the bomb exploded in Tel Aviv. The two had chosen the small restaurant near the old bus station, the site of the attack, after their taxi driver had recommended it as a tasty, kosher-for-Passover shawarma joint.
