“Our only previous exchanges with the Iraqis are the Scud missiles,” he [Dr. Sion Houri, director of the pediatric intensive care unit at Wolfson Medical Center in Holon, Israel] said, referring to the missiles Iraq, under former dictator Saddam Hussein, fired on Israel during the 1991 Gulf War.

Inside the clinic, some children were lying in beds, hooked to heart monitoring machines as doctors examined them. Children played with toys in a reception area and cut paper Valentine hearts.
One child screened Tuesday was four-year-old Mustafa, who Houri said was diagnosed with crossed arteries and would need two surgeries in Israel soon to unfold them before they harden.
Mustafa’s mother, a Kurdish woman who identified herself only as Suzanne because she feared reprisals from militants in Iraq, said travelling to Israel made her “anxious. Not because I’m going to a country considered an enemy of Iraq, but because I’m afraid of retribution by Iraqi militants, by the terrorists back home.”
“I’m afraid and it’s not easy for me at all, but I’m willing to take the risk to save my beloved son’s life,” she said as she caressed Mustafa.
“Israel is a good country. It’s a country that has mercy on other people,” she added.
Abu Ahmed, 36, a taxi driver from the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk, said his 12-year-old daughter, Basita, underwent a successful surgery in Israel last year.
“The Israeli doctors, bless their hearts, stitched a notch in her heart,” he said. “They told me today that she recovered completely, and I’m grateful to them and their country for helping us out.” …- http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/World/2007/10/09/4562453-ap.html
