A two-year-old toddler went missing this evening, Wednesday, in Jerusalem. She was found by her parents about half an hour later with signs of injury on her body.

According to the police: "A report was received at the 100 emergency center regarding a toddler found in the Ramat Eshkol area of Jerusalem by her parents, after they reported she had been missing for about half an hour." The child was evacuated to a hospital for treatment, and her condition is defined as light.
