A fatal accident occurred in Ashkelon: a one-and-a-half-year-old girl drowned in a pool in the yard of a private home in the villa district. The arriving ambulance team found no pulse or breathing, and resuscitation procedures began immediately, after which the child was taken in critical condition to Barzilai Medical Center. Despite the doctors' efforts, the girl could not be saved—death was pronounced at the hospital. The exact address of the tragedy has not been disclosed in official reports. Since the beginning of the year, 19 minors have already died in water bodies across the country. Representatives of emergency services once again urge parents not to leave children unattended for even a minute, emphasizing that the home environment and the shallow depth of private pools create a false sense of security.
