Two young Israeli children aged four and nine were gravely injured in a suspected stabbing incident at their family home in Beit Shemesh on Monday, according to Israel Police. Emergency services, including Magen David Adom (MDA), responded to the scene and found the children with severe stab wounds in their family pool. The children were rushed to Hadassah-University Medical Center in Jerusalem for urgent treatment.
The attack is reported to have been carried out by a mentally unstable individual who entered the home after the mother of one of the children had left. Israeli media sources allege that the perpetrator assaulted the children before being apprehended by the police.
MDA paramedic Yosef Haim Bernfeld described the harrowing scene, stating, "We were led to two children who had suffered serious injuries to their bodies, including a nine-year-old boy who was unconscious, with no pulse and not breathing, and a four-year-old boy who was conscious." Authorities have not provided additional information regarding the incident at this time.
