Acre fifth-graders hospitalized after eating margosa fruit

Eight students in an Acre elementary school are hospitalized after eating the olive-like fruit of a margosa tree. The fruit was apparently rotten.

The six boys and two girls, all in fifth grade, are expected to be released home after checks at the Galilee Medical Center in Nahariya confirm there is no lasting damage from the fruit.
