17-Year-Old Falls 12 Meters in Bnei Brak, Hospitalized in Moderate Condition

A 17-year-old male fell approximately 12 meters from a residential building on Yarkon Street in Bnei Brak on Monday afternoon. Emergency medical teams from United Hatzalah and Hatzalah arrived promptly, providing initial treatment at the scene. The young man sustained head injuries and was evacuated to Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikva in moderate condition.

United Hatzalah medics Yeanki Slod and Yaakov Krimlovsky reported that the victim suffered multiple injuries and required immediate medical attention. Additional responders from Hatzalah’s motorcycle unit, Eldad Israel and Beni Greineman, assisted in stabilizing the patient, including stopping bleeding and immobilizing him before transport to the trauma unit.

This incident follows a similar recent fall in Jerusalem, where an 11-year-old fell two stories and was also hospitalized in moderate condition after receiving first aid from United Hatzalah. Additionally, last week in Bnei Brak, a severe traffic accident involved a 7-year-old cyclist who was struck by a bus and hospitalized in serious condition.

These events highlight ongoing safety concerns in residential areas of Bnei Brak and Jerusalem, with emergency services responding swiftly to such accidents.
