Four children collapsed and were taken to hospital after feeling dizzy and fainting in the Makor Baruch neighborhood of Jerusalem. Fire and Rescue hazardous materials (Hazmat) crews are at the scene conducting tests to locate or rule out dangerous substances that may have caused the incident.
A medical and hazmat incident is unfolding in the Makor Baruch neighborhood of Jerusalem. Fire and Rescue Services received a report via its 102 emergency hotline of four children who felt dizzy and lost consciousness. A hazardous materials (Hazmat) monitoring team from the Jerusalem District was dispatched and is currently conducting comprehensive tests inside a building to either locate or rule out the presence of dangerous substances. The four children were evacuated by medical personnel for further treatment at an undisclosed hospital. The cause of their collapse remains under investigation; no hazardous material has yet been confirmed. This incident follows a series of emergency responses in Jerusalem over recent weeks, including a gas explosion in the Old City's Jewish Quarter and a fire in Abu Tor, though no connection has been established.
