A child complained of hand pain and he was taken to a Terem private emergency clinic. An x-ray revealed the child had a bullet in his hand, which was determined to have been there for three months.

The child arrived in the Terem emergency clinic in the Romeima neighborhood of Yerushalayim with hand pain. Doctors began to examine the 11-year-old to determine if he fell or sustained injury. As they took his medical history doctors learned that the child recalled his hand was bleeding three months earlier, but at the time, he did not feel pain and did nothing about it.

The child was referred to a local hospital. Police and social services were notified as well.
