Two years after the Second Lebanon War, one soldier's recovery continues
By Haaretz Staff and Channel 10
Tags: IDF, Second Lebanon War 
Haaretz.com/Channel 10 daily feature for July 8, 2008.

July 12 marks the two-year anniversary of the start of the Second Lebanon War. About 670 Israel Defense Forces soldiers were wounded and 119 killed in the conflict that erupted after Hezbollah militants fired rockets on Israeli border towns and anti-tank missiles at humvees patrolling the border.

Time has helped to heal some of the wounds suffered by troops on the front lines. But a number of them are still reeling from their injuries and are working to regain their strength, both physically and mentally.

One of those soldiers is Liran Chazan, who suffered serious head trauma after a Hezbollah rocket struck the building where his unit was stationed.
