MDA Teams performed efforts to resuscitate two four-month-old infants, after they were found to be unconscious at a daycare in Jerusalem. The infants were later evacuated to hospitals throughout the city, in order to continue life-saving treatment.
At the moment the cause of the incident appears to be unknown.
MDA teams are examining the remaining infants at the daycare to rule-out any other medical-concerns.
MDA Paramedic, Nadav Taib said:
“This is a an extremely serious incident. We were initially called to the scene to treat a four-month-old infant who was found unconscious, without a pulse and unable to breathe. Our team began providing medical treatment, including resuscitation efforts and evacuating the remaining children. We were then called back to the scene after another child was also found unconscious, without a pulse and unable to breathe”.

At this moment, MDA EMTs and paramedics are providing medical treatment and evacuating 55 infants to hospitals around the city, including two infants who appear to be in critical condition, while resuscitation efforts are ongoing, and 53 other infants for further medical examinations and necessary treatment. Further updates will follow.

On Friday at 12:31 PM, MDA’s 101 emergency dispatch in the Gilboa region received multiple reports related to a terror attack across several locations in and around Beit Shean and Route 71 near Ein Harod. MDA teams were dispatched simultaneously to all reported scenes.

On Route 71 near Ein Harod, MDA teams located a young woman around 18 years old lying unconscious on the side of the road, suffering from penetrating injuries. Despite medical treatment, her condition was critical and she was pronounced dead at the scene.
“She was lying beyond the safety barrier, unconscious and suffering from penetrating injuries,” said MDA physician Dr. Ravid Petro.

Minutes later, on Shomron Street in Beit Shean, MDA EMTs and paramedics arrived to find a 68 year old man lying unconscious, without a pulse and not breathing after being struck by a vehicle. Immediate resuscitation efforts were initiated, but he was pronounced dead shortly afterward.
“I immediately began resuscitation efforts,” said MDA paramedic Daniel Toito.

In a third incident on Yaakov Mikhlouf Street in Beit Shean, a 16 year old boy was found conscious with injuries to his lower extremities after being struck by a vehicle. He received medical treatment at the scene and was evacuated by MDA ambulance to HaEmek Medical Center in minor condition.
