Schneider Children’s Medical Center in Petah Tikvah provides an update on seven child and teen victims of the terror attack in Ra’anana this afternoon.

A 16-year-old boy is in serious condition and is sedated and intubated and is undergoing surgery at Schneider for head trauma.

The six other young victims, ages 10-16, were brought to Schneider and nearby Beilinson Medical Center. They are in light to moderate condition and are undergoing medical evaluations in the emergency department for limb, head, and neck injuries.

At Meir Medical Center in Kfar Saba, director Dr. Yaron Mushkat announced the death of a 70-year-old woman brought in in critical condition.

“She died despite our efforts to resuscitate her,” he said.

Mushkat said that two other victims at the hospital are in serious condition and two are in moderate condition. The injuries they sustained were caused by a combination of stabbing and car-ramming.

Schneider has opened an information line: 1255136
