Ten toddlers, around one year old, experienced allergic reaction symptoms on Tuesday at a daycare center in Beitar Illit. The incident occurred around 10:25 AM, prompting a call to Magen David Adom (MDA) which dispatched medical teams to the scene on Kadushat Levi Street. The children presented with mild allergic symptoms and rashes, but were all fully conscious. Police, medical forces, and the fire department were called to investigate the circumstances. "Ichud Hatzala" medical teams provided initial treatment, reporting that the children felt unwell after eating canned tuna. The cause of the mass allergic reaction is still under investigation, and medical teams are monitoring the toddlers' condition. It is currently unclear if hospitalization will be necessary. "Chossen" teams from Ichud Hatzala were also deployed to assist anxious parents and families. The daycare facility has been evacuated pending clearance from the fire department. Separately, the Ministry of Health issued a warning about two companies operating in emergency medical services, urging the public to verify credentials before purchasing training or ambulance services. The ministry noted that one company, "Matzil Hayim," is not authorized to conduct training for emergency medical technicians and ambulance drivers, meaning individuals who trained there may need to repeat the course.
