The last surgery, in April, reattached a part of Sharon's skull that was
removed to reduce pressure on his brain. The reattachment was described as a
necessary step before transferring Sharon to the long-term care facility at
Sheba hospital.
Sharon personified Israel's military might for decades, and Israelis were
stunned to see him felled by illness.
His stroke came after Sharon saw through his contentious plan to withdraw
Israel from the Gaza Strip after 38 years. Just two months before, Sharon shook
up the Israeli political map by bolting his hard-line Likud Party to form the
centrist Kadima faction.
After the stroke, Sharon's successor as party leader, Ehud Olmert, led Kadima
to victory in a March 28 vote and became prime minister.
