About a month ago, a similar incident was recorded, when the hand of a restaurant worker was caught in a meat grinder in the G mall in Kfar Saba, leading to his injury. Firefighters who were called to the scene rescued Hapoel’s hand from the machine, and then MDA medics and paramedics provided him with medical treatment.

MDA paramedic Eyal Davidson said: “I was with my family in the mall when I received a report on the MDA drive app about the injured employee at the restaurant. I immediately went to the vehicle and took the medical equipment to start treatment as early as possible. The worker’s hand was trapped inside the machine “In order to rescue the firefighters, we provided him with medical treatment that included painkillers and stopping bleeding.”

He added that “after long minutes of hand rescue operations he was released, we transferred him to an intensive care unit and evacuated him to the hospital when his condition was stable while delivering a preliminary report so that the hospital would be prepared to receive the wounded in the best possible way.”
