    The circumstances of the incident are being investigated.

    The United Hatzalah organization reiterates its call on parents and adults to prevent children and teenagers from climbing on roofs or fences where there is a risk of falling from a height, especially these days, on the eve of the holiday, when the children are on vacation.

    The organization says that in recent days there has been a drastic increase in injuries and bruises as a result of carelessness.

    Last night, two fingers of a one-and-a-half-year-old toddler from Elad were amputated after an iron gate in the parking lot of the building where he lives was closed by him.
