The three are hospitalized at Barzilai Hospital in the city, with the 12-year-old's condition defined as severe and she still breathing, and the rest mild to moderate.

In Tel Aviv, an 18-year-old woman drowned in a pool during a lifeguard course she attended.

Her condition is severely defined.

"When we arrived at the pool, we saw the young woman lying on the edge of the pool unconscious," said Guy Arazi and Ronen Arad from MDA, who were called to the scene.

We continued the medical treatment, which included an electric shock from a device (defibrillator), medication, respiration and massages, and a few minutes later the core returned to beating.

We admitted her while continuing medical treatment to an intensive care unit and evacuated her for further treatment at the hospital when her condition was serious and she was breathing. "
