Girl, 11, in serious condition after suffering heart failure during sirens in Safed

An 11-year-old girl underwent heart failure during incoming rocket sirens in Safed this morning, and is hospitalized in serious condition after medics managed to restart her heartbeat.

The Magen David Adom ambulance service says that shortly after 6 a.m., medics who were called to the scene found the girl with no vital signs and gave life-saving treatment including defibrillation until her heart started beating again minutes later.

She was taken to Ziv hospital in serious but stable condition.
