A newborn baby whose scrotum was accidentally cut lengthwise during a brit mila (ritual circumcision) on Tuesday was rushed to Kaplan Medical Center in Rehovot the same night. The mohel who performed the brit called for an ambulance after he saw that the baby was bleeding profusely and realized what he had done.
