MDA paramedic Eyal Helfman said the first responders started treating the boy at the school and transferred him in a mobile intensive care unit to Haifa’s Rambam Hospital.
A hospital spokesperson said the boy was sedated and on a respirator in serious condition.
It wasn’t immediately clear what caused the bookcase to fall on the boy.
