Firefighters in Modi'in Illit successfully rescued a 14-year-old girl who became trapped between her apartment window and its security bars on the sixth floor of her building. The rescue operation was initiated when fire crews from the Binyamin station were dispatched to the scene. Upon arrival, firefighters discovered the apartment door was locked, preventing access from inside. A high-reach platform from the nearby Matityahu station was deployed to access the girl. Firefighters operating the platform cut through the window bars and safely brought the girl down to the ground unharmed. Sergeant Major Yossi Pasi, who led the rescue, described the situation, stating, "Upon arriving at the scene, I assessed the situation and realized that the rescue could only be performed using the platform." He added that two firefighters ascended in the platform's basket, made contact with the girl, calmed her, and explained the rescue process before cutting the bars and lowering her safely.
