Neria Leiter, the son of Israel's Ambassador to the US, Yechiel Leiter, was discharged from Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem and transferred to a neurological rehabilitation center on Wednesday.

According to Shaare Zedek, Leiter remains unconscious but is breathing on his own.

Leiter was seriously wounded during a car-ramming terrorist attack at the Bell checkpoint on Route 443 in September.

During his hospitalization, Leiter underwent several neurosurgical and orthopedic procedures. After several weeks in which his life was in danger, his condition stabilized.

The Leiter family said they "thank the medical teams at Shaare Zedek for their dedicated and professional care, which went above and beyond," and asked that their privacy be respected.

This is a developing story.
