Fifteen children sustained injuries at a daycare center following exposure to a suspected hazardous substance. Among them, two four-month-old infants are in critical condition, while the rest of the children also suffered injuries during the incident on Ha-Mag Street in Jerusalem’s Romema neighborhood. Emergency services treated the infants at the scene before transferring them, along with the other injured children, to Haare Zedek and Hadassah Mount Scopus hospitals.

Firefighters and the HazMat unit are present at the location to assess the situation and check for potentially dangerous materials, with initial reports suggesting a possible carbon monoxide leak. The Education Ministry has launched an investigation into the matter, indicating that the incident occurred at a private daycare facility for toddlers located within a private apartment in Romema.

Local residents are advised to steer clear of the area while specialized teams work to identify the substance and ventilate affected areas.
