The bombing took place in the Israeli town of Ariel in Samaria. It destroyed the family apartment of David Ortiz, a Messianic pastor. The force of the blast was so strong it shattered car windows three stories below.
His son, Ami, suffered major injuries including second and third degree burns, shrapnel in one lung, and wounds from head to toe.
Despite the life-threatening injuries, Ami survived – an outcome doctors called a miracle.
