Yehuda Miller, Meilech Henig, and Rafael Peretz, United Hatzalah medics, reported: "His friends told us that he fell from a window (about 4 meters) in the educational institution where he was staying. We provided him with medical treatment at the scene that included bandaging and immobilization, and he was evacuated to Sheba Medical Center in Tel Hashomer suffering from head injuries and his condition is defined as moderate."

Hatzalah medics Menachem Zinger and Daniel Saal reported: "When we arrived at the location, we found a 13-year-old boy suffering from a head injury after falling from a height of about 5 meters. Together with Hatzalah medics and MDA, we provided him with initial medical treatment, including immobilization and bandaging, and he was evacuated in moderate condition in an MDA ambulance staffed by Hatzalah volunteers for continued medical treatment in the trauma room at Sheba Medical Center in Tel Hashomer."

The incident joins a series of falls and injuries among children and teenagers that have occurred in recent months in Bnei Brak and its surroundings. A week ago, a one-year-old infant was moderately injured on a bus on Ezra Street in Bnei Brak after falling from his stroller following a sudden braking by the driver.

About two weeks ago, a 4-year-old girl was moderately injured after falling from a table on Rabbi Shach Street in Bnei Brak and sustaining a head injury. At the end of August, a 17-year-old youth fell from a height of about 12 meters in a residential building on Yarkon Street in Bnei Brak and was moderately injured.
