An infant in serious condition after a domestic drowning incident in the Binyamin region on Tuesday afternoon. MDA paramedics performed CPR on the child, who had been submerged in a bathtub, and successfully restored a pulse before evacuating her to Hadassah Mount Scopus Hospital. The hospital reports her condition as serious; she remains sedated and ventilated. This is the third drowning incident involving a young child reported in Israel today, following a toddler in Beit She'an and a 13-year-old in Modi'in — both from pool drownings. The Binyamin case is distinct as a bathtub drowning, underscoring the risk of unattended infant bathing. No further details on the circumstances have been released.
