82-year-old dies of wounds sustained in Iranian missile strike on Haifa
Michael Katz, 82, who was critically wounded in an Iranian missile strike on his apartment building in Haifa during Operation Roaring Lion, has died of his injuries, the Haifa Municipality said on Wednesday.
"Michael, who was rescued from the rubble and hospitalized, fought for his life for over three months before dying this morning of his wounds. Katz worked for Rafael [Advanced Defense Systems] for decades, contributing to Israel's security and even winning the Rafael Award for his achievements. He is survived by his wife Nina, his sons Itamar and Yoav, and six grandchildren," the municipality said.
The same strike on April 5 killed four members of the Gershovitz family, who lived in the apartment building.
