Elizabeth Tsurkov, the Israeli researcher released from captivity by "Hezbollah battalions" in Iraq, spent the past night with her family at the hospital, after she was seen limping when arriving at the medical center yesterday. She is suffering from back pain that makes sitting difficult and is being assisted by the medical staff there. According to reports in various media outlets, shortly before she was kidnapped, Tsurkov underwent spine surgery, and it is possible that her back pain worsened as a result. Tsurkov is currently undergoing a gradual series of medical examinations.
