Israeli media reports that the injured person in a ramming incident on the Geha highway is a 93-year-old pedestrian.
In the latest development, the victim of the ramming on the Geha highway has been identified as a 93-year-old pedestrian, according to Moskov reporting. The identification comes as the incident, which unfolded during ongoing Haredi draft protests, was first reported at 18:44 Jerusalem time. At that time, initial reports described one person seriously wounded after a vehicle rammed into demonstrators. Minutes later, the same timestamp shows a series of updates: the injury was initially reported as moderate, then escalated to serious, and a second victim — a protester — was also reported wounded. Journalist Chaim Cohen described the incident as deliberate.
As The Zioneer reported in its initial dispatch at 18:44 Jerusalem, the event began with one seriously wounded individual. The thread then shows rapid-fire updates within the same minute: first a moderate injury, then serious, and the addition of a second victim — a passerby and a protester. The identification of the passerby as a 93-year-old pedestrian is the newest detail, adding specificity to the victim profile. The incident remains under investigation by Israeli security forces; the driver's identity and motives have not been confirmed.
The ramming occurred at Geha Junction at a time of large-scale protests over the ultra-Orthodox draft. Police secured the scene as paramedics treated the injured. As The Zioneer reported in earlier coverage of the broader protests, the Geha Junction area has been a recurring flashpoint.
What remains open: the condition of the 93-year-old victim has not been specified beyond the initial moderate-to-serious assessment, and no official statement from police or security forces regarding the driver or the investigation has been released.
