Four-Month-Old Baby Found Unconscious at Daycare in Gadera, Rushed to Hospital
On January 27, 2026, a four-month-old infant was found unconscious at a daycare center in Gadera. Emergency medical teams from Magen David Adom (MDA) arrived promptly, providing advanced resuscitation including defibrillation before transporting the baby to Kaplan Medical Center in critical condition. Ran Manosis, an emergency medical technician at the scene, described the infant as initially pulseless and not breathing, with the team performing life-saving measures en route to the hospital.
This incident follows a tragic event earlier this year in Jerusalem's Romema neighborhood, where two four-month-old infants died at a Haredi daycare affiliated with the Beit Yaakov network and Agudat Yisrael. That daycare reportedly operated without official permits. In that case, 53 additional infants were hospitalized at Shaare Zedek and Hadassah Mount Scopus hospitals after losing consciousness. MDA teams responded to reports of infants losing consciousness and performed resuscitation efforts during transport.
Authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding these incidents, highlighting concerns about infant safety and regulatory compliance in daycare facilities.
