"Every day, he came home with a different story. He had such a good time. They went to the pool, played games; he had a great time."<br /><br /> Yaniv was playing soccer in a field adjacent to Hadera's central bus station on May 25, 2001, when a car pulled alongside a public bus and blew up. The two terrorists inside the car were killed and 45 people were wounded in the attack. The force of the blast destroyed a wall surrounding the soccer field, and Yaniv was injured in the chin and chest by flying stones.<br /><br /> While the physical injuries healed, the emotional ones did not.<br /><br /> "He internalized everything, he didn't want to talk about it," Tova Amousha says.</p> <p> </p>
