The second heart transplant operation in Israel’s history was performed at Beilinson Medical Center Friday by Prof. Morris Levy, a prominent Israeli cardiologist. The patient was a 21-year-old Arab from Taibeh village and the donor was a 60-year-old Jew. Neither was identified. A hospital bulletin Monday morning said doctors were continuing to study the patient’s post-operative condition and watch for possible rejection problems. Dr. Levy performed Israel’s first heart transplant 10 years ago.
