A 6-year-old boy was injured on Thursday morning 1 Rosh Chodesh Adar while heading to his cheder in Elad. United Hatzalah was on the scene, reporting he sustained facial injuries and a partially amputated finger.

United Hatzalah’s spokesman’s unit recommends that lessons be learned (due to the recurrence of such unfortunate incidents) and that safety measures be taken and that measures be taken to prevent the possibility of slamming of a gate or door on fingers, especially in homes or institutions where children and infants are located. Caution and compliance with safety rules are expected to prevent unnecessary disasters.
