Two brothers aged 4 and 6 were moderately injured on Shabbat morning after falling from a height on Hazon Ish Street in Rehasim, a northern Israeli town.

The children climbed onto a tarp canopy in their family's yard when the material unexpectedly tore beneath them, causing them to fall and sustain head injuries.

United Hatzalah teams who were called to the scene provided initial medical treatment before evacuating the boys to Rambam Hospital in Haifa, where their condition was listed as moderate.

Ariel Ben Elbaz, United Hatzalah's Shabbat duty officer, reported: "I was informed at the scene that the children fell from a tarp canopy (shade netting) that tore when they climbed on it in their yard, and as a result they sustained head injuries. We provided them with initial medical assistance at the scene, and then they were evacuated to Rambam Hospital with their condition currently listed as moderate."
