A 14-year-old girl was rescued by firefighters in Modi'in Illit after becoming trapped between her apartment window and its bars on the sixth floor. Fire and Rescue Services from the Binyamin regional station responded to the incident, which occurred shortly before the report. Upon arrival, crews found the apartment door locked, preventing access from inside.

A high-reach aerial ladder from the Matityahu station was deployed. Firefighters used the ladder to reach the girl, cut through the window bars, and safely lowered her to the ground unharmed. Sergeant Major Yossi Pasi, who participated in the rescue, described the operation, stating that an assessment determined the aerial ladder was the only viable method. He explained that two firefighters ascended in the ladder's basket, made contact with the girl to calm her, cut the bars, and then safely brought her down.
