A Chabad rabbi shot in what authorities have called a likely
terrorist attack in southern Russia was discharged from an Israeli hospital.
Rabbi Ovadia Isakov, 40, was released from Beilinson
Hospital in Petach Tikvah on Sunday. He had surgery to repair his liver there.
Isakov was airlifted to Israel after being shot July 24 as
he exited his car and headed into his home in Derbent, in the predominantly
Muslim Republic of Dagestan near Chechnya.
Authorities have said it was likely a terrorist attack by
Muslim extremists.
Isakov, a father of four, told Israeli media he intends to
return to Derbent as soon as he is well.
Upon he thanked
communities and individuals throughout the world for their assistance,
Chabad.org reported.
