Rescuers from the Israel Police's Etzion-Yehuda rescue unit and Border Police officers from the Mateh Yehuda station successfully extracted a 9-year-old boy who had fallen into a pit over 3 meters deep. The incident occurred during a hike in Hurvat Shua, located in the Adulam Park, while the boy, a resident of Tel Aviv, was participating in a "Chug Sayarot" (hiking club) activity. He was trapped for approximately two hours.
Rescue teams reached the boy using 4x4 vehicles. Due to the pit's depth, the climbing, rappelling, and rescue team from Etzion-Yehuda collaborated with a special unit from the Israel Fire and Rescue Services to establish a complex rescue system. A volunteer medic was lowered into the pit to provide initial medical treatment to the boy, who was fully conscious but sustained injuries to his upper body.
Following the initial treatment, the injured boy was hoisted out of the pit using a specialized stretcher and rope system by firefighters. He then received further medical attention from the rescue unit's medical team, as well as from United Hatzalah and Magen David Adom (MDA) paramedics.
Given the challenging terrain, the boy was transferred to a United Hatzalah 4x4 ATV, which transported him out of the area to meet an MDA ambulance. He was then taken to Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv for continued medical care, with his condition described as mild.
