Israeli paramedic delivers baby, rushes it to bomb shelter during Iran attack
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Dr. Gal Rosen is an Israeli paramedic who has saved lives under the threat of missile attacks.
Racing from emergency to emergency, heart pounding, but calm under fire — «don’t think, just act.»
He said he lost his mother when he was a child at the hands of a murderous terrorist. He saved lives as an army paramedic, but he continues to do it now as a civilian — defiantly choosing to live in Israel and work at Tel Aviv’s Magen David Adom (MDA) while under threat and emergencies from multiple-front wars.
He saves lives in the «dark» of war. He sees lives go, sometimes after making difficult split-second decisions.

«We need to choose sometimes,» he says, speaking to Fox News Digital during a rare moment off between emergencies. «And this is hard.»
But, today, he is sharing a story of «light’: a stark contrast from the stories he usually refuses to share with his family to spare them the horrifying realities of war — even if they live those themselves.
Last Thursday, Rosen delivered a healthy baby boy into the world and, in sudden threat of a missile attack and blaring sirens, carried that son away from the mother in the ambulance as he and the father raced to reach a bomb shelter.
This is his fifth emergency delivery of a newborn as a paramedic. It was his first under the threat of a missile attack and blaring sirens.
«It was so surrealistic situation, in my opinion, never happened to me, something like this,» he said, able to smile about the gravity of it all one week later, after finally finding sleep and time to reflect.
«This is an amazing thing to share at home,» Rosen said. «Most of my stories are not like this, most of our stories I share are really hard things for my family to hear. This is why, usually, I’m not sharing with my family stories from my work: ‘Sorry, I’m not doing it.’
«Car accidents or about the CPRs or about really difficult situations that I had to deal with.»
Just two days after bringing one life into the world, he saw five go.
«I had, like last Saturday, five cases of death in the shift,» he said. «I don’t want to get home and tell about it in my family, right? But this story is amazing.

«I went to my grandma,» he continued, «and said, ‘You have to hear it.’
«She was so proud of me and also my family and my father and my friends and my partner. Of course, this is a really nice story to tell to everyone.«
The call came around 6:30 a.m. local Tel Aviv time on a Thursday morning: a woman was in labor, getting an assist on emergency delivery over the phone as if it was a movie.
But this was real life, a new life, and war.
By the time the MDA paramedic team arrived, the baby was still inside and the husband was helping his wife through the final moments of delivery. Dr. Rosen stepped in for the last few minutes and helped safely deliver the boy.
Then came the alert.
Within moments, a warning sounded that a missile attack on Tel Aviv was expected in about 10 minutes. The paramedic suddenly had to balance the urgency of a wartime emergency with the delicate, critical first steps of childbirth.
He quickly placed the newborn on the mother’s chest for skin-to-skin contact, a key step for bonding and early development. He had the father cut the umbilical cord and helped the mother nurse the baby for the first time.

«I tried to do something as close as possible to reality for them,» he said, wanting to preserve the intimacy of a normal birth even though they were far from a hospital delivery room.
With the help of the father and her team, he then moved the family into the building’s shelter. There, in the middle of blaring alarms and the sounds of missile interceptions overhead, relatives from the apartment building — a grandmother, an aunt and others — came downstairs and saw the baby for the first time.
«It was the first time they met the baby, while there were alarms,» he said.
«Adrenaline» and former army paramedic instinct took over.
«I put the helmet, I put the vest and everything, I took the baby, and we stopped by the side and I ran with the baby to a public shelter,» he recalled. «So me and the father, we’re running together, I’m taking the baby with me, running to a shelter and just a random building and there was no shelter there.
«‘OK, this is not good.’ We need to go out.
«And we’re going out. There is still alarms; I know that we have like maybe 20 seconds left, going to another building, and then we’re getting into a public shelter. There is 50 people there in the shelter and they closed the door. We were still there standing in the shelter, so I gave the father the baby.
«I didn’t want the idea for the father also — you know in the future — to think about the situation that a stranger held his baby while there is a missile attack.«
In the shelter, with the postpartum mother still in the ambulance under the Iron Dome, the unmistakable sound of war came with a shock.
«We also heard the interception with the Iron Dome,» Rosen said.
The sound, he said, was impossible to ignore: «a boom,» followed by a shock wave you could feel.
The air was vibrating.
The grateful father and mother, identified by MDA as Nikola and Violet, said the experience was frightening but that the emergency team helped keep them calm.

«It wasn’t a simple experience,» they wrote in a joint statement, preferring to keep privacy but permitting Dr. Rosen to share the war story out of praise and thankfulness.
«The labor started at home, and just minutes after the MDA team delivered the baby, the siren caught us, and we went down to a shelter. The team functioned amazingly, calmed us, and treated us in the best possible way. This isn’t the ideal experience, but we’re happy everything ended safely, and we’re grateful to the team who helped us so much.»
In that cramped shelter of about 50 huddling Israelis, surrounded by strangers and the threat of falling missiles, the room broke into applause. People congratulated the father and shouted «Mazal tov.»
Mother was still in the ambulance with members of the MDA team, still at risk postpartum, as the Iron Dome was busting missiles overhead.
«And after 10 minutes that we sat there, we went out, and we walked in the street with a baby, 30 minutes old, crossing the intersection together, going to the ambulance,» Rosen said. «They put a helmet on her and a vest on the mother, and one of my teammates stayed with her, because she couldn’t come to the shelter. It was too much time, too risky for her.
«And, you know, in these moments, I didn’t think so much. So I just act.
«I realized that it would be better to protect the son; it would better to go to find a shelter. And we didn’t think about the idea that maybe we’ll be in alarms, because we were in the situation, we were at the moment, we’re with the family, with the delivery, with everything, and you can’t imagine something like this — even though it’s Israel, and now we can actually imagine everything.
«Still, it was really, really, really exciting — excitement and happiness – and a good thing because most of our days right now are dark.»
Despite losing his mother to a murderous terrorist and living under the threat of multiple-front wars and shrieking Iron Dome sirens and missile attacks, Rosen would choose no other life.

«My mother was murdered in a terror attack when I was a kid, when I was a child, and to choose to still be here with my family, to live here: This is our home and to choose, going to a different path, not hate.
«I will save lives, and I will do my best to help other families going through these situations, and I will do my best to make sure there are no other families that will need to suffer from a loss.
«So I think this is the mentality of Israelis in general. But still, see, this is one of the only places in the world that people are getting rescued by a flight to come back to Israel.
«In a war,» he deadpanned.
But, with everything happening under the stress of war, Rosen kept the calm, precision and resolve of an army paramedic, knowing the best medicine for a baby born under stress is skin-to-skin and mother’s milk.
«I learned in med school, I learned these two things are the most important: Put the baby on the skin, give them the bond, help her to nurse,» he said. «It also can help the mother a lot when she nursing the baby. It’s also helping with postpartum bleeding. And a lot of things.
«So this situation, it’s hard to do when we are in this missile attack.»
But all is well that ended well and — in the case of Nikola and Violet’s newborn — began as well as could be under the circumstances.
«I was so excited I couldn’t sleep for — like the delivery, it was something like 17 hours into my shift,» he recalled. «So I worked 16 hours. It was after 17 hours shift.

«Now and after 17 hours shift, I went back home, I tried to sleep, I couldn’t sleep, and then I had to go to another shift. So I was awake for at least 24 hours.«
One week later, the adrenaline and excitement have not worn off. And the baby boy, mother, father and MDA paramedic team live on to tell an all-timer.

El petróleo sube mientras caen las bolsas globales y los futuros de Wall Street tras el discurso de Trump sobre la guerra
El petróleo subió más del 10% y los futuros estadounidenses se desplomaron el jueves después de que el presidente Donald Trump declarara en su primer discurso a la nación desde el inicio de la guerra con Irán que Estados Unidos intensificará su campaña en las próximas semanas.
Los futuros del S&P 500 cayeron un 1,5% antes de la apertura, mientras que los del Dow Jones perdieron un 1,4%. Los futuros del Nasdaq retrocedieron un 2%.
El jueves fue el último día de negociación de la semana debido al feriado del Viernes Santo. Los mercados no han registrado ganancias semanales desde que comenzó la guerra a finales de febrero.
Un portavoz del ejército iraní insistió el jueves en que Teherán mantiene depósitos ocultos de armas, municiones e instalaciones de producción.
“Los centros que creen haber atacado son insignificantes, y nuestra producción militar estratégica se lleva a cabo en lugares que desconocen y a los que jamás llegarán”, afirmó el teniente coronel Ebrahim Zolfaghari.
El precio del barril de petróleo brent, el de referencia en Europa, repuntaba un 7,63 % en la apertura del mercado de este jueves, después de que el presidente estadounidense, Donald Trump, se mostrara algo ambiguo sobre el futuro del conflicto en Irán.
Las palabras del republicano golpearon también a los futuros en Wall Street -con el Dow Jones de Industriales, el S&P 500 y el Nasdaq dejándose en torno a un 1 % cada uno– y a los parqués asiáticos, donde el Nikkei nipón perdía un 1,4 % y el Kospi surcoreano retrocedía un 3 %.
Cerca de una hora después del comienzo de la sesión, el precio del barril de brent era de 107,87 dólares, tras subir ese 7,63 %; asimismo, el petróleo de Texas (WTI, por sus sigla en inglés) también acusaba la incertidumbre sobre la reapertura del estrecho de Ormuz, por donde transita buena parte del crudundial.
El presidente estadounidense ha asegurado esta madrugada que, una vez que termine la guerra, el estrecho de Ormuz “se abrirá de forma natural” porque Irán requerirá de la venta de petróleo para reconstruirse, si bien no ofreció detalles precisos sobre cómo garantizar la reapertura de esta estratégica ruta.
El barril WTI se encarecía un 7,71 % hasta 106,58 dólares, del mismo modo que el gas natural para entregar a un mes en el mercado TTF de Países Bajos, el de referencia en Europa, repuntaba un 2,04 % hasta 49,14 euros el megavatio hora.
El petróleo intermedio de Texas (WTI, por sus siglas en inglés) volvió a escalar de manera contundente este miércoles, encareciéndose más de un 4 % hasta superar los 104 dólares.
Después de recortar su cotización en más de un 1 % durante la jornada del miércoles ante las expectativas de que Trump pudiera anunciar el fin de la guerra contra Irán, los contratos de futuros del WTI volvieron a dispararse en cuanto el republicano aseguró que EEUU buscará devolver a Irán “a la Edad de Piedra”.
Las principales bolsas de Asia abrieron este jueves con pérdidas, en un contexto de aumento de los precios del petróleo.
Trump afirmó la noche del miércoles que Estados Unidos completará sus objetivos militares en Irán en unas “dos o tres semanas”, periodo en el que aseguró que atacará “con mucha fuerza” a la república islámica, a la que amenazó con “devolverla a la Edad de Piedra”.
Ante este panorama de agitación internacional, el petróleo intermedio de Texas (WTI) subió un 6,4% y superó los 106,55 dólares el barril. El crudo Brent, de referencia internacional, aumentó un 6,9%, hasta los 108,15 dólares por barril.
“Si no se alcanza un acuerdo, atacaremos con fuerza todas sus centrales eléctricas, probablemente de forma simultánea”, fue otras de las declaraciones del inquilino de la Casa Blanca en su presentación, donde no mencionó el plazo límite que había fijado Irán para la reapertura del estrecho de Ormuz, la vía marítima fundamental para el transporte mundial de petróleo y gas.
Tampoco ofreció una solución clara para las interrupciones en el suministro que han provocado el alza de los precios de la energía.
Los principales índices bursátiles de Tokio y Seúl abrieron casi sin cambios este jueves, pero comenzaron a registrar caídas significativas tras las declaraciones del presidente estadounidense Donald Trump. Los sectores financiero, industrial y energético fueron los más afectados, dada su mayor exposición al encarecimiento del crudo.
Unas dos horas después del inicio de las operaciones en Japón, el índice Nikkei retrocedió un 2,4%, perdiendo 908,40 puntos, hasta situarse en 52.831,28 unidades. Este indicador había subido un 5,24% en la sesión previa, impulsado por expectativas de un posible fin cercano de la guerra en Medio Oriente.
El Topix, índice más amplio de la bolsa tokiota que agrupa a las firmas de mayor capitalización, bajaba un 1,22%, o 44,69 puntos, colocándose en 3.626,21 enteros.
En Corea del Sur, el Kospi cayó un 4,5%, hasta los 5.234,05 puntos, tras haber avanzado un 3,5% la víspera. El Kosdaq, índice de empresas tecnológicas y de mediana capitalización, se redujo un 3,79%, hasta situarse en 1.073,90 unidades.
Las principales bolsas de China continental, Hong Kong y Taiwán abrieron en rojo tras el discurso del presidente estadounidense, Donald Trump.
En los primeros minutos posteriores a la alocución, el índice Hang Seng de la Bolsa de Hong Kong cedió un 1,3%, mientras que los mercados de Shanghái y Shenzhen bajó un 0,32% y un 0,83 %, respectivamente. El CSI 300, que agrupa a los 300 principales valores de esos dos mercados, descendió un 0,44% a esa hora.
En la Bolsa de Beijing, con menor peso por su reciente creación y enfoque en pymes, la caída fue del 2,14 %. Al mismo tiempo, el Taiex de la Bolsa de Taipéi, en Taiwán, retrocedió un 1,9%.
Los principales índices bursátiles de India registraron caídas superiores al 2%, tras las advertencias del presidente estadounidense Donald Trump sobre la intensificación de la ofensiva contra Irán.
Dentro de la Bolsa de Bombay, el BSE Sensex retrocedió un 2%, situándose en un mínimo de 71.545,81 puntos, mientras que el Nifty 50 descendió en igual proporción, alcanzando los 22.182,55 enteros.
En el Sudeste Asiático también predominaban los retrocesos, con el índice de Yakarta (JCI) liderando las bajas al perder un 1,25%, seguido por el KLCI de Malasia, que caía un 0,96%. El índice S&P/ASX 200 de Australia cayó un 1,1%, hasta los 8.579,50 puntos.
El miércoles, la expectativa de un fin próximo de la guerra impulsó el optimismo en el mercado bursátil estadounidense: el S&P 500 subió 0,7% hasta 6.575,32 unidades, mientras que el Dow Jones avanzó 224 puntos y el Nasdaq ganó 1,2%.

The 48-day Department of Homeland Security shutdown is one step closer to ending after the Senate moved to fund most of the department Thursday morning.
The Senate agreed via voice vote to send a bipartisan deal funding the whole department except for President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement and border security efforts to the House for consideration.
The chamber is not expected to vote on the legislation until House lawmakers return to Washington on April 13.
The Senate vote follows GOP leaders endorsing a two-track approach to funding DHS on Wednesday, with President Trump giving lawmakers a hard deadline to end the record-breaking funding lapse.

HOUSE CONSERVATIVES RAGE AGAINST SENATE DHS SHUTDOWN DEAL
The Senate bill accomplishes the first phase of the plan by working with Democrats to fund as much of DHS as possible on a bipartisan basis. However, it would zero out funding for ICE and much of the Border Patrol, save for $11 billion in customs funding going to the agency. Additionally, $10 billion teed up for ICE won’t be funded under the measure.
As for ICE and the Border Patrol, Republicans have said they will seek three full years of funding for both of these agencies in a party-line budget reconciliation package that will bypass Democrats’ opposition. Trump says he wants the forthcoming bill on his desk by June 1.
«We are going to work as fast, and as focused, as possible to replenish funding for our Border and ICE Agents, and the Radical Left Democrats won’t be able to stop us,» Trump wrote on Truth Social on Wednesday.
The Senate bill’s passage on Thursday was a déjà vu moment for Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., who helped steer the same measure through the upper chamber last week.
But House GOP leadership sharply rejected it, calling the measure’s exclusion of ICE and CBP money a «crap sandwich» and warning about the risks of funding those entities using the budget reconciliation process. The chamber then put forward a rival proposal that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., made clear was «dead on arrival» in the Senate.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., appeared to relent Wednesday after Trump issued a statement outlining an end to the shutdown that appeared to side with Thune’s two-part approach to funding the department.

GOP INFIGHTING, DEMOCRATS’ UNMET DEMANDS AND A CLEAR WINDFALL: WHO’S WINNING AND LOSING THE DHS SHUTDOWN
As the DHS shutdown drags on, Trump and congressional Republicans are gambling that budget reconciliation will be the way to fund immigration enforcement for several years to come. Some Republicans have floated funding ICE not just through Trump’s term, but for up to a decade.
The GOP used the same process to fund ICE last year, teeing up $75 billion for enforcement operations for the next four fiscal years.
But the party-line process comes with a host of challenges that could test Republican unity in an election year.
GOP lawmakers will have to identify spending cuts to pay for it. When Republicans used the process to pass Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act in July 2025, lawmakers nearly stumbled at the finish line over disagreements on cuts to federal Medicaid spending and food assistance programs.
Without a looming deadline like the expiration of Trump’s 2017 tax cuts that Republicans extended in July 2025 through the «big, beautiful bill,» some GOP lawmakers have voiced concern that the party will stay unified.
Republicans have proposed adding other issues into the reconciliation mix, including supplemental funding for the Iran war, affordability measures, the president’s tariff regime and pieces of the election integrity-focused SAVE America Act.
The budget reconciliation process allows a party with control of the White House and both chambers of Congress to pass tax and spending priorities with a simple majority threshold, though the process is governed by stringent requirements for what is eligible to be included.
Punting ICE and CBP money to a future spending bill could also negatively affect support staff employed by both agencies who have not been paid during the seven-week shutdown.

Democrats have repeatedly blocked funding for ICE and the Border Patrol in the Senate since the beginning of the shutdown in mid-February. Though none of their proposals to reform immigration enforcement have been adopted, Democratic leaders claimed victory on Wednesday.
«Throughout this fight, Senate Democrats never wavered,» Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said Wednesday. «We were clear from the start: fund critical security, protect Americans, and no blank check for reckless ICE and Border Patrol enforcement.
«We were united, held the line, and refused to let Republican chaos win.»
The Senate deal funding most of DHS could still face roadblocks in the House. A handful of conservatives have already said they will vote «no» while using the same messaging employed by House GOP leadership to oppose the bill last week.
«Let’s make this simple: caving to Democrats and not paying CBP and ICE is agreeing to defund Law Enforcement and leaving our borders wide open again,» Rep. Scott Perry, R-Pa., wrote on social media Wednesday. «If that’s the vote, I’m a NO.»
