On Sunday evening at 22:01, MDA received a report of a woman electrocuted in Binyamina. Paramedics and volunteers arrived at the scene, where the woman's husband — an MDA volunteer medic — had already begun CPR and used a personal defibrillator. After a single shock, her heart resumed beating, and she regained consciousness. MDA evacuated her to Hillel Yaffe Medical Center in stable condition.
The husband, identified in reports as Sharon Kanovlich, was off-duty at the time. MDA confirmed the rescue in an official statement. The incident highlights the role of volunteer first responders in Israel's emergency medical system.
