The 8-year-old girl wounded in a shooting in Deir Hanna earlier Monday is now in serious condition, according to reports. Earlier Monday evening, she was reported in moderate condition.
The condition of the 8-year-old girl wounded in a shooting in Deir Hanna has been downgraded to serious, according to reports circulating at 22:19 Jerusalem time. This marks a deterioration from the moderate, stable condition reported by the North Medical Center (Poria) at 22:02, based on Channel 12's Or Ravid. The new report does not specify the nature of the decline or whether the girl's injuries are from the same incident.
Earlier Monday evening, at 20:30, initial reports described the girl as seriously wounded with penetrating injuries. Within minutes, further details emerged: she was hit by two bullets in the chest and hand, and the gunmen had targeted her father, who fled the scene. Police confirmed a criminal motive. At 20:30, the hospital also assessed her condition as moderate and stable, a status that held until the 22:02 update. The 22:19 report now reverses that assessment.
This is the latest in a series of violent incidents in Deir Hanna. In a separate overnight event on Tuesday, June 23, a shooting at a home left a mother and her daughter moderately wounded, and a suspect was arrested. As The Zioneer reported at the time, that incident is under investigation; its connection to Monday's shooting is not established.
It remains unclear what caused the girl's deterioration between 22:02 and 22:19, and whether the new report reflects a re-evaluation of her injuries or a fresh change in her medical status.
