Jerusalem Beauty Salon Poisoning Sends Women to Hospitals
Published
Emergency crews evacuated women from a beauty salon on Sheikh Inbar Street in A-Tur, Jerusalem, after suspected carbon monoxide poisoning or hazardous-substance inhalation. Initial reports put the number of injured or hospitalized women between 12 and 17, with several listed in moderate or serious condition and others lightly hurt. The women were taken to Hadassah Ein Kerem, Hadassah Mount Scopus and Shaare Zedek, while police secured the area to keep evacuation routes open. Fire officials suspected a generator placed illegally at the salon, and the owners were detained for questioning as the investigation continued.

Difference in reporting
Sources factually disagree on the casualty count: Israel National News and Ynet report 12 women injured, seven moderate and five light; Jerusalem Post reports at least 17 hospitalized or rescued, with some more serious. The remaining facts are uniform: the July 8 incident occurred at an A-Tur Jerusalem beauty salon, involved suspected carbon monoxide or hazardous-substance exposure, emergency services evacuated women to Jerusalem hospitals, and authorities investigated a generator or hazardous source.
