Parents of the babies and toddlers evacuated from the Jerusalem daycare where two babies were found unconscious on Monday and later died spent the night at the hospital, where their children were monitored overnight.
B’Chasdei Hashem, after comprehensive tests, it was reported this morning that 27 babies and toddlers who had been hospitalized in the pediatric department at Shaare Tzedek Hospital were released in good condition. The test results of all the children were normal.
Forty out of the 43 babies and toddlers hospitalized at Hadassah Har HaTzofim and Ein Kerem Hospitals were also released on Tuesday morning in good condition after overnight hospitalization, except for three babies who remain hospitalized at Ein Kerem due to mild winter illnesses unrelated to the tragedy.
Dr. Gal Pachis, director of the emergency medicine division at Shaare Tzedek, said, “The teams worked throughout the day and night to provide treatment and support to the parents. We decided to keep all the children hospitalized as a precaution and to ensure there would be no deterioration in their condition. Once normal results were received, they were released this morning in good condition.”
The police found no evidence of a gas leak or other hazardous materials at the apartment, and it is now believed that the two infants, who were sleeping in the same room but apart from the other babies, died from extreme heat due to a heater set on an unusually high temperature.

So terrible for everyone involved 💔
How did this jump to 67? Did the editor of this article read it before writing the headline? It must be adjusted to ensure the readers are fed accurate news and not tabloid news. This is shameful.
As if they all needed hospitalization in the first place it was just to pump up the story and make people hate through drama
Are these number reports from the same outlet that reported the Palestinian/Gaza reports?
Here is what needs to be done. In numbers there is power. The only reason Chareidim are beaten and hurt in Israel is because most Israelis today are not religious. Years ago in the 1970s the same problem was in Boro park. There were not that many Jews in Boro park so all the time there were attacks. Every Friday night gangs of cars would throw eggs at Jews. After the chassidim increased and beat the daylights out of anyone starting either a jew and in fact turned over a few cars the area turned the safest in nyc. We need to get every Chareidi to marry at 18 and girl at 17. We need giant families to quicken the pace to take over. Right now in twenty years Chareidim will be fifty per cent of the voters. We can put in someone like Reb Chaim Kanefsky to run the army. No girls allowed. No gay parades. No stores open shabbos. Etc. All public schools for Israeli Jews will become yeshivas. Get married quick. Shadchonim should go to protests and bring along girl candidates so they can point out which boy they are interested in much like they do by the weddings.
What a windfall for the hospital.
FlatbushYid- that was happening and then the Israeli government decided to bring a million Russians and ukrainians to balance out the number of secular again. Many of them were questionably Jewish altogether, the Jewish agency wasn’t digging as hard as they do when a religious person wants to make Aliyah. The secular leftist trash know the reproduction trick already they still won’t let it happen
The entire story was reported TABLOID NEWS style disparaging an entire community. Facts were never verified.
Below, I share an account of a mother, a neighborhood teacher, who sends her child there each day.
There were indeed 53 children spread about 45 apartments in the building. The babysitter and her assistant had only 12 children in their care. The children were all taken in thinking it was a gas leak or a CO² leak. It’s shameful for reporting agencies to file stories without first verifying. Shameful and hurtful. This is classic רכילות.

Bringing Russians is a problem because you don’t know who is Jewish. The difference in bringing a million Chinese to work in restaurants,construction and hospitals is they are easily recognizable with their orientel features unlike Russians. Second point is Arabs cannot marry chinese as they are Buddhist. Arabs can marry Christian’s or Jews.
Third the Chinese dont hate us as other nationalities who accuse us of killing oysoi hoish. My daughter used a Chinese crew to upgrade her house in Israel. They were fantastic. The Chinese boss speaks Chinese and hebrew and he instructs his workers in Chinese. We can also use these Chinese as soldiers and mechanics in the army do no yeshiva boys will have to go.
