The condition of a 3-year-old Israeli girl wounded in a shooting attack earlier this week has improved. Hospital officials said Thursday that Shira Leibovitz had moved her foot, a day after doctors removed a bullet lodged in her spine. Leibovitz’s 7-year-old sister, Noam, was killed in the attack, when gunmen fired on the car the girls’ family was traveling in on the Trans-Israel Highway near Kalkilya.
