A new report reveals 46 births to minor girls from Yavne'el at the Poria and Laniado hospitals over the past seven years, and at least eight documented instances of menstrual regulation — a medical procedure enabling pregnancy at a young age.
A report circulating on Israeli social-media channels this afternoon (Wednesday) discloses specific hospital data on underage births from Yavne'el, a town in the Galilee previously associated with a police investigation into secret underage marriages. According to the data, 46 births to minor girls from Yavne'el were recorded at Poria and Laniado hospitals over the past seven years. The report also cites at least eight cases of "menstrual regulation" — a medical procedure that facilitates pregnancy in young girls.
The figures come months after The Zioneer reported on a police probe into suspected secret marriages involving minors in Yavne'el, which uncovered more than 20 cases of underage births without recognized marriage records. The new data appears to expand the documented scope. The source did not provide a direct official link to the hospital data; the figures remain attributed only to an unnamed source.
