Doctors at Chaim Sheba Medical Center at Tel Hashomer near Tel Aviv say former President Shimon Peres is starting to get a little stronger.
The elder statesman showed more improvement in his condition late Sunday night and again on Monday.

Sources at the hospital said Israel’s ninth president was able to move both of his hands, and that he was able to respond to simple instructions from the doctors as well.
But Peres remains in serious, albeit stable condition seven days after having suffered a major cerebral hemorrhage.
Nevertheless, doctors said the fact that Peres can move both of his hands may mean it’s possible the 93-year-old former president may not have suffered damage to the left side of his brain.
