Ten toddlers, all around one year old, were evacuated from a daycare center in Beitar Illit on Tuesday morning, October 13, after experiencing symptoms of an allergic reaction. The daycare has been closed, and police are investigating the incident. Preliminary findings have ruled out exposure to life-threatening substances. The working theory is that the allergic reactions occurred after the children consumed a shared meal, and investigators are working to identify the specific ingredient that may have caused the symptoms. Rescuers from the "Ichud Hatzala" organization, Yossi Fried, Yitzhak Taer, and Zvi Klar, reported that daycare workers stated the children began feeling unwell after eating canned tuna. The Jerusalem district of Magen David Adom (MDA) received the report of the affected children at 10:25 AM and dispatched medical teams. Paramedics found approximately 10 children conscious with mild allergic symptoms. First aid was administered, and parents were notified. All affected children are in mild condition, with three transported for further treatment.
