A Weston teenager who was severely wounded in a Tel Aviv suicide bombing earlier this week underwent surgery Friday to remove part of his leg, family friends said.
Daniel Wultz had two surgeries before Friday's operation and already lost a kidney and spleen since the attack Monday on a restaurant where he and his father were eating. Tuly Wultz is recovering from a broken leg in the same Tel Aviv hospital as Daniel.
Family friend Tammy Fayne related Tuly Wultz's feelings after learning his son's leg would be amputated: "It's just a leg. We still have Daniel."
Friends and neighbors could not bring themselves to press Daniel's parents for more details about his condition. The most people know is that the 16-year-old basketball player lost part of a leg from the knee down as an infection spread up the limb.
"Tuly was crying and I was crying," said Andrew Abraham, a friend of the family who prays at the same temple and who spoke to the teen's father Friday. "It's barbaric what this person did when all [Daniel] wanted was to eat at a restaurant."
Daniel, a high school sophomore, was passionate about basketball. He spent many hours at a Weston YMCA playing competitively.
Abraham and the Wultzes' temple, the Chabad Lubavitch of Weston, have ordered blue and white rubber wrist bands inscribed with the message "Pray for Daniel."
The temple also has set up a fund, the Daniel Wultz Gemilas Chessed Fund, to raise money for the family, said Rabbi Yisroel Spalter. Donations can be made on the synagogue's Web site, www.chabadofweston.com.
