An 89-year-old pedestrian was critically injured after being struck by a vehicle on Mifratz Street in Ashkelon this morning. Magen David Adom (MDA) paramedics performed CPR, and after his heart resumed beating, evacuated him to Barzilai Hospital with a severe head injury, in critical condition.
This morning's accident on Mifratz Street in Ashkelon left an 89-year-old pedestrian critically injured with a head injury after being struck by a vehicle. MDA paramedics revived the victim at the scene before evacuating him to Barzilai Hospital in the city.
The incident follows a separate, earlier pedestrian accident in Rahat this morning (07:09) involving a 50-year-old in serious condition. A string of recent pedestrian incidents across Israel — including a man critically injured by a bus in Jerusalem on June 7 and several others this month — underscores continued road safety concerns, though no specific cause has been attributed to today's event. Details on the driver and circumstances remain under investigation.
