Medical teams from United Hatzalah and Magen David Adom responded to a daycare center in Beitar Illit on Tuesday morning after approximately ten toddlers developed an allergic reaction. The first responders provided medical treatment and conducted examinations on the toddlers, who are around one year old. All children were conscious and suffering from mild rashes and allergy symptoms. Police forces from the Etzion station, medical teams, and firefighters were dispatched to the scene to investigate the circumstances of the incident. The daycare was evacuated.
Paramedics from the Hatzalah Unit, who were the first on the scene, reported that the daycare staff stated the infants and toddlers felt unwell and exhibited mild allergy symptoms after eating canned tuna. "We provided them with initial medical assistance, and at this stage, their condition is defined as mild," they said.
