Sderot rocket victim Osher Twito, 9, copes with loss of leg
By Haaretz Staff and Channel 10

Haaretz.com/Channel 10 news roundup for March 17, 2008.

Five weeks have passed since Osher Twito and his big brother Rami were seriously hurt when a Qassam exploded next to them in Sderot.

Doctors were forced to amputate Osher's left leg and just barely saved his right leg following eight operations. The nine-year-old boy is still having trouble comprehending what that means.
