Police in Jerusalem arrested a man Wednesday evening who allegedly left an infant, who was found without signs of life, outside Shaare Zedek Medical Center before fleeing the scene. The man's wife was also detained for questioning. The couple, both in their 30s and 40s and residents of Jerusalem, are being investigated, but the motive behind the incident remains unclear.
This case echoes a similar incident in January, where a two-week-old infant was discovered abandoned in a stairwell near the National Insurance Institute building in Hadera. Security personnel found the baby wrapped in a blanket with a bag containing milk bottles and diapers. Emergency services provided medical attention and transported the infant to the hospital, where he was reported in stable condition and fully conscious. Police transferred the baby to welfare services and launched an investigation.
Separately, the article mentions two other infant-related incidents in Jerusalem: the death of an 8-day-old baby and a 4-month-old infant found in serious condition after being left in a closed vehicle.
