Capt. Shahar Gamla<\/a>, 23, was critically injured by an explosive drone in Lebanon and later died from his injuries at Rambam Hospital in Haifa, the military announced on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Following confirmation of his death, his family requested that his organs be donated, enabling several patients awaiting transplants to be saved or see their conditions improved.<\/p>\n

According to the National Transplant Center, the transplants<\/a> took place on Sunday at multiple hospitals. Gamla\u2019s heart was transplanted into a 54-year-old man at Rabin Medical Center-Beilinson Campus in Petah Tikva, and his lungs were transplanted into a 47-year-old man at the same hospital.<\/p>\n

His liver was transplanted into a 69-year-old man at Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv<\/a>, while a liver lobe was transplanted into a 7-year-old girl at Schneider Children\u2019s Medical Center. His kidneys were transplanted into a 37-year-old man and a 72-year-old woman at Beilinson.<\/p>\n

Gamla\u2019s corneas have not yet been transplanted, and his skin was donated to the National Skin Bank, which treats burn victims. Post-mortem skin donation is used in cases of severe burns or other skin injuries, providing temporary or therapeutic coverage for large areas of the skin.<\/p>\n

Leah, Shahar\u2019s mother, said after the organ donation: \u201cThere is nothing greater than organ donation<\/a>; it lets Shahar live on in other people. With joy and great love.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Capt.
