Tel Aviv - Three Kurdish Iraqi children are being treated in an Israeli hospital near Tel Aviv, the Israeli Ynet website reported Thursday night.
The three siblings were born with heart defects and require various surgeries. They will be operated on in the coming weeks after undergoing examinations.
The children arrived with their mother through the aid of a local charity, after waiting for two and a half months in Jordan for permission to enter Israel.
The website said that five Iraqi children have been operated on so far in the Israeli hospital.
Iraq and Israel do not have diplomatic relations.

Such a fine example of love and generosity. Kindness and humanity can be expressed without considering nationalities, religious beliefs, or animosity between nations.
A salute from me!
