The North Medical Center (Poria) updated Monday evening that the 8-year-old girl wounded in a shooting in Deir Hanna is in moderate and stable condition, according to Channel 12's Or Ravid.
The North Medical Center (Poria) reported Monday evening that the 8-year-old girl wounded in the earlier shooting in Deir Hanna is in moderate and stable condition. The update, provided at 22:02 Jerusalem, is the first official hospital assessment since the girl was evacuated after the incident earlier Monday, and it revises the initial designation of her condition from serious to moderate.
The first reports of the shooting emerged at 20:30 Jerusalem from Channel 12's Or Ravid, citing local sources, stating that an 8-year-old girl had been seriously wounded with penetrating injuries. Within minutes, additional details from the same reporter indicated she had been hit by two bullets in the chest and hand, and that unidentified gunmen had opened fire at her father, who fled the scene. Police later confirmed they were investigating the incident with a criminal motive suspected. The hospital's evening update now provides a clarified medical status.
As The Zioneer reported on June 23, a separate shooting incident in Deir Hanna overnight led to the arrest of a suspect and the evacuation of a mother and daughter in moderate condition. That incident, also in the same Galilee town, involved gunfire directed at a home. The current shooting remains under police investigation; no arrests have been reported in this case.
It remains unclear whether the girl's father has been located or questioned by police, and whether the motive relates to any specific conflict or prior incident. The criminal suspicion has not been further detailed by authorities.
