Am Yisrael Chai: IDF soldier watches his baby born via live video
A soldier fighting in the south joins his wife in the birthing room via live video call.
Early in the morning, Shira arrived at Meir Medical Center in Kfar Saba to give birth to her fourth child.
Little did she know that her husband, currently serving as a reservist in the south, would be virtually present on a video call, deeply connected despite the physical distance.
Am Yisrael Chai
The emotional birth had everyone in the delivery room and beyond in tears of joy as their healthy baby boy, weighing 3.785 kg, entered the world, while his father witnessed the miracle in real-time through his phone.
"After I arrived, the staff provided incredible support and assistance," Shira shared shortly after giving birth. "A special thanks to the midwives who made sure my husband could be present during this precious moment.
"In these challenging times for our country, I hope this story brings warmth and hope to us all. Am Yisrael Chai!"
