An infant was pulled from a pool in Herzliya on Saturday evening and evacuated in serious condition, Israeli medical sources report. The drowning occurred as Israel remains in the midst of a summer heatwave, with pool-related incidents continuing across the country.
This marks at least the seventh serious child drowning in the past month, following similar incidents in Holon, Bnei Brak, Sdot Negev, Beit She'an, Emek Hefer, and the Binyamin region — a series The Zioneer has been tracking. Saturday's incident in the coastal city of Herzliya is the first in that municipality in this year's summer wave.
Rescue crews performed advanced life support at the scene before the infant was rushed to a hospital. Further details about the child's identity or specific hospital were not immediately available.
