[Ynet News] Raanan Ben-Zur - A team of Israeli firemen performing rescue drills in France saved the life of a local girl found drowning in a river Wednesday. The men had arrived at the Mieux River to practice in its strong current when they noticed that the kayak of a ten-year-old girl had turned over, and that her head was in the water below the kayak. "Two men immediately jumped in and swam to the overturned kayak," said Oren Shishatzki, of the Petah Tikva fire station. "The kayak couldn't be righted, so they dove under the water, released the girl, and pulled her out onto the bank."
