Yoseftal Hospital

Within two weeks, a 6-year-old girl in a kindergarten yard, an Eilat resident at a horse farm, and a soldier in the field were bitten in the Eilat and Arava region; the soldier was evacuated by helicopter to receive a specific antivenom. "The hot season in the region brings with it a sharp increase in reptile activity."

A 3-year-old boy is in moderate condition after being rescued from a pool at a zimmer on Lotus Street in Eilat. United Hatzalah medics provided initial treatment before his transport to Yoseftal Hospital.
