MDA paramedics provided medical treatment and evacuated her to Sheba-Tel Hashomer Hospital.

“I immediately started giving her life-saving initial treatment that included stopping bleeding and together with other MDA forces, we put her in an intensive care unit and evacuated her while continuing advanced treatment to the hospital, while her condition was defined as serious,” Englander said, according to Arutz Sheva.
