A third infant was hospitalized after consuming the Prinok baby puree product, Israeli media report. The Shin Bet is now involved in the investigation amid suspicion of a nationalist-motivated incident, according to the reports.
The Prinok baby puree affair escalated Wednesday evening with the hospitalization of an additional infant, bringing the total to three admitted after consuming the product, Israeli media report. The Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) has joined the investigation alongside police, examining suspicions of a 'nationalist incident.' As The Zioneer reported earlier Wednesday, two children were previously hospitalized and two Prinok branches were closed following findings in the product. The investigation's scope has widened to include possible non-criminal motives, with authorities treating the case with heightened severity due to the involvement of infants and the suspected nationalist element. No details have been released regarding the infants' medical condition or the specific substance found in the puree.
