Ten toddlers, approximately one year old, were evacuated from a daycare center in Modiin Illit on Tuesday morning, October 13, after exhibiting symptoms of an allergic reaction. The daycare has been closed, and police are investigating the incident. Initial findings have ruled out exposure to life-threatening substances. The working theory is that the allergic reactions occurred after the children shared a meal, and authorities are working to identify the specific ingredient that may have caused the symptoms. Rescuers from the "United Hatzalah" organization stated, based on information from daycare staff, that 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 about ten children conscious with mild allergic symptoms. First aid was administered, and the parents were informed. All affected children are in mild condition, with three transported for further treatment.
