A 7-year-old boy was seriously injured today (Monday) after falling from a height of about 4 floors in a residential building in the 6th district of the city of Ashdod. MDA medics and paramedics gave him initial medical treatment and evacuated him to Assuta Hospital suffering from a multi-system injury.
An MDA emergency medic said: "When we arrived at the scene, we saw the boy unconscious after falling from a height of several meters. We immediately gave him advanced medical treatment in the field that included immobilization and medication, put him in the intensive care unit and quickly evacuated him to the hospital when he was in serious condition."

Two of the carriers were detained for questioning at the Ashdod station. At this time they are fighting for the child's life in the hospital.
