A 7-year-old boy was bitten by a snake in the yard of his home in the settlement of Alon Moreh, located in the Samaria Regional Council, on Sunday. The incident was reported to Magen David Adom (MDA) at 5:26 PM. MDA, United Hatzalah, and IDF medical personnel responded to the scene.
Paramedics provided initial treatment to the child before transporting him to Schneider Children's Medical Center. There were conflicting reports regarding the boy's condition. MDA described his condition as serious and unstable, while United Hatzalah reported he was evacuated in stable condition. Discrepancies also arose concerning which organization's intensive care unit transported the child.
MDA paramedic Rom Oscar stated, "The child was brought to us suffering from snakebite symptoms and his condition was serious and unstable. We provided him with life-saving medical treatment, including medication, and evacuated him in an MDA intensive care unit to the hospital." United Hatzalah medics Yair Revigad and Alon Elizur said, "We were told at the scene that he was bitten by a snake in his yard. After the medical treatment we provided, he was evacuated in an IDF intensive care unit to the hospital in stable condition."
