Two Young Children Critically Injured in Suspected Stabbing by Mentally Unstable Neighbor in Beit Shemesh
A serious violent incident occurred Monday afternoon on Emek HaZaytim Street in Beit Shemesh, where two young boys, aged 5 and 6, were stabbed. According to initial reports, a mentally unstable neighbor entered the children's apartment and attacked them. One child is in critical condition and undergoing resuscitation, while the other is in serious condition.
Large emergency response teams from Magen David Adom, United Hatzalah, and the police were dispatched to the scene. The incident is believed to be criminal in nature rather than nationalist-related, and investigations into the circumstances are ongoing.
Magen David Adom received the emergency call at 16:40 reporting the two injured children. Paramedics provided medical treatment on site, with one child unconscious. United Hatzalah confirmed ongoing resuscitation efforts for the 6-year-old and serious care for the 5-year-old victim.
