Aharon Karov (Aharon Yehoshua ben Chaya Shoshana, although I think they've since added a name), who was critically hurt in Gaza, has made amazing progress. Doctors say his life is not in danger, and he's managed to communicate and even to stand briefly. However he still has a long recovery, so prayers are still good (if anyone knows the new name, if there is one, please update).

Dvir Bar-Chai/Dvir ben Leah is still comatose and in serious condition. His family is planning a prayer rally at 5:20pm Tuesday at the maarat hamachpelah in Hevron. They hope people elsewhere will join them in praying at that time (I think that's 10:20 am EST), specifically in saying tehillim יג, כה, ל, קג, קיב, קמב, קמג, that's 13, 25, 30, 103, 112, 142 and 143.

There have been notices in the Yated the last few days to daven for Aharon Yehoshua Pinchas ben Chaya Shoshanna - I presume it is him and they added a name.
