Schneider Children’s Medical Center provided an update today regarding several pediatric patients treated following recent missile strikes in central and southern Israel.
Critical condition of seven-year-old from Arad
A seven-year-old girl, who was seriously injured three days ago during a strike in Arad, was transferred overnight from Soroka Medical Center to Schneider.
