Tadasa Tashume Ben Ma'ada, who was injured in the Jerusalem bombing on Wednesday, died from his wounds at Shaare Zedek Medical Center on Saturday, according to a spokesperson from the hospital.
"The trauma and intensive care teams at Shaare Zedek fought for his life, but unfortunately, his injuries were critical," wrote the hospital in a statement. "We share in the grief of the family and send our condolences."
Ben Ma'ada is the second victim to have been killed in the terror attack, the first being 16-year-old Arye Shechopek who was buried on Wednesday evening. He was critically injured in the attack, but the medical teams fought for his life for three days and were ultimately unsuccessful.
Prime Minister Yair Lapid said that Ben Ma'ada made aliyah from Ethiopia 21 years ago. He was in his 50s and leaves behind a wife and six children.
The two were killed by bombs that went off at two locations in Jerusalem - one at the entrance to the city and the second at Ramot Junction.
