The condition of 8-year-old Osher Twito, who was severely wounded by a Qassam rocket outside his Sderot home and had his left leg amputated, significantly improved on Thursday.

Sheba hospital said that now that Twito is capable of breathing by himself and has regained consciousness, his condition is moderate.

On Wednesday, he underwent another operation, in attempt to salvage his right leg, which had sustained severe wounds.

The condition of his 19-year-old brother, Rami, who was injured alongside Osher, is stable.

Following the incident, medical crews rushed the two brothers to Ashkelon's Barzilai hospital. Rami's girlfriend, Kinneret, who witnessed the strike, said they did not manage to take cover because Red Color alert had not been activated.

The Qassam rockets that injured the brothers were fired by Islamic Jihad militants in Gaza.
