RedShield MAGEN DAVID ADOM SAVES 7 YEAR OLD GIRL FROM IRAN ATTACK
Iran’s unprecedented attack on Israel in April saw the Iron Dome and an alliance of international allies prevent serious injury or loss of life. However, shrapnel from a ballistic missile struck the home of the al-Hassouni family in Al-Fura, an Arab community near the city of Arad. 10-yearold Amina al-Hassouni was critically injured while she was sleeping in her bedroom. Mohammed al-Hassouni, Amina’s father, recounts the terrifying incident, relaying that alarms were loudly reverberating through the area, missiles were flying overhead, and then one fell on their house causing debris to hit Amina in the head, severely wounding her.

After being on the verge of death for nearly two months, young Amina awoke from her coma. Upon hearing this news, EMT Israel Katz described feeling very moved, as he knew that MDA had succeeded in its mission to save lives. He immediately contacted Amina’s father and arranged to visit her as soon as possible.

Israel Katz (Manager of the MDA fi rst responders in Arad and a senior EMT) and Zohar Servintzky (MDA paramedic from Arad) were the fi rst on the scene. Israel recalls that upon fi rst examination it was clear that Amina had sustained a significant head injury, was unresponsive and needed to be put on a
ventilator. The MDA medics delivered first aid until the intensive care team arrived, who continued treatment before evacuating Amina to Soroka Medical Center as she was in critical condition.
