Dozens of seminary girls were rescued by rescue and recovery teams while hiking in the Wadi Kelt area. One girl was evacuated by Magen David Adom (MDA) in light condition to the Hadassah Mount Scopus hospital. About sixty seminary girls were rescued last night while they were in the middle of their hike in Wadi Kelt.

After an examination by a senior medic, it was determined that their medical condition was not urgent. The helicopter was canceled, and the rescuers walked out of the wadi with all the hikers. One girl was evacuated by MDA in light condition to Mount Scopus. Four others received medical treatment and were stabilized by the unit's teams and MDA volunteers. The incident concluded around 9:00 PM.
