An unusual incident occurred on Yehuda Hanasi Street in Beit Shemesh, where an 11-year-old boy sustained moderate injuries after falling from a height. Initial investigation at the scene indicates the boy was injured when he jumped on a trampoline, flew off it, and landed on a panel roof.
Medical teams from United Hatzalah provided the boy with initial treatment on-site, including bandaging and stabilization. He was subsequently rescued using a tactical stretcher and transported by a mobile intensive care unit to Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem for further treatment.
