A young boy is in moderate condition after nearly drowning in the central Israeli city of Rishon Lezion earlier on Wednesday.
The 3-year-old victim was treated by United Hatzalah first responders in Rishon Lezion after nearly drowning in a local pool run by the city's culture and sports division.
He was pulled from the water by people nearby and then received treatment from United Hatzalah EMTs, who arrived within a few moments after being alerted to the incident.
The toddler was transported via ambulance to a hospital, where he will receive further treatment.
Police are investigating the incident.
