United Hatzalah paramedics successfully performed CPR on the girl, including using a defibrillator, after she fell out of bed during a siren, intending to rush to a sheltered area.
Sirens caused by an Iranian missile barrage caused a 12-year-old girl to fall from a bunk bed and suffer a cardiac arrest in Safed, northern Israel, United Hatzalah reported on Thursday morning.
The incident occured at approximately 6:13 a.m., the Safed Municipality added, noting that the missile fragments landed in an open area and did not cause any direct harm.
United Hatzalah paramedics went to the scene and performed CPR on her, successfully causing her heart to resume beating.
"We were informed that during the alarm, she stumbled from her bed as she tried to quickly get down and move to a shelter," United Hatzalah paramedics said.
"We performed CPR on her while giving her two shocks from a United Hatzalah defibrillator. After that, her heart miraculously started beating again," they added. She was then taken to the hospital in a critical, but stable, condition.
MDA first responders treat at least six people after shrapnel hits near Kafr Kassem
Later on Thursday, at approximately 7:20 a.m., sirens sounded across central Israel following the detection of an Iranian missile barrage. United Hatzalah announced that its medical teams went out to scan for casualties across central Israel and the Sharon region, following receiving reports of shrapnel hitting the area.
MDA initially stated that it was providing medical treatment to two people in the Kafr Kassem area, central Israel, who were lightly wounded, later raising this number to six.
The wounded were transferred to both campuses of Rabin Medical Center, MDA stated.
Magen David Adom, at approximately 2 a.m. on Thursday morning, announced that emergency response teams were dispatched to several locations where people reported incidents of shrapnel hitting open areas.
The responders found shrapnel hitting in at least two locations, with no casualties at either scene, MDA noted.
However, a 68-year-old woman suffered a head injury en route to a sheltered area and was taken to Sheba Medical Center, Tel Hashomer, for further treatment.
Additionally, two people were involved in a car crash in Petah Tikva due to the sounding of sirens and were evacuated to Rabin Medical Center-Beilinson Campus.
This is a developing story.
