(Ynet News) Yair Altman - IDF forces and paramedics helped save the life of a Palestinian woman and her newly born infant Wednesday at the Jewish town of Neve Tzuf in the West Bank. Corporal Haim Levin, 19, an IDF paramedic, said, "The umbilical cord was around the baby's neck; the baby was grey and didn't move." "I first removed the cord from the [baby's] neck...and she started to cry." he said. Gadi Amitun, who heads the Magen David Adom team at Neve Tzuf, said the Palestinians "know we have a skilled medical team here, and in any case of accident or injury they arrive and we help them."
