Israeli Border Police Save Palestinian Snake Bite Victim
(Jerusalem Post) Yaakov Lappin - Rami Hariziat Hassan, 20, from Rantis in the West Bank, was saved by Israeli Border Police officers after being bitten by a viper on Sunday. His friend Raja Talam Va'ada said: "We rushed to a local checkpoint and asked the soldiers for help. They really helped us....He nearly died. He wasn't breathing." Border policemen quickly brought in a medic to administer first aid, and an ambulance rushed Hassan to Sheba Medical Center at Tel Hashomer. They also ensured that the snake, which had been killed, arrived at the hospital so that doctors would know which anti-venom to use.
