A dramatic rescue operation unfolded in Modi'in Illit yesterday when a 14-year-old girl became trapped in the narrow space between her apartment window and its security bars on the sixth and top floor of a residential building. Firefighters were alerted to the situation and, upon arriving at the scene, determined that the apartment door was locked, preventing access from inside. Due to the complexity of the rescue, a high-reach aerial platform was deployed from the Matityahu station. Two firefighters ascended in the platform's basket to the sixth floor, established communication with the frightened girl, and calmed her while explaining the rescue process. The firefighters then cut through the metal bars blocking her access, freed her from the tight space, and safely lowered her to the ground. She was unharmed. Firefighter Sergeant Major Yossi Pasi, who participated in the operation, described the tense moments, stating, "Upon arriving at the scene, I assessed the situation and realized that the rescue could only be performed using the aerial platform. We deployed the platform, and two firefighters ascended in the basket. Upon reaching the floor where the girl was trapped, we made contact with her and calmed her while explaining the rescue procedure. We cut the bars and then safely lowered her to the ground."
