Israeli doctors say they have performed a complex surgery to separate one-year-old conjoined twins, the first such effort ever in Israel.

The twin girls were separated in a 12-hour procedure by Israeli and international medical experts at the Soroka Medical Center in southern Israel’s Beersheba, the center said in a statement sent to The Associated Press.
