A 5-year-old boy drowned in Ashkelon on Saturday evening, Israeli media report. Earlier in the day, a 4-year-old boy was pulled from the water near Delila Beach and evacuated in critical condition while undergoing CPR, according to MDA.
A 5-year-old boy drowned in Ashkelon on Saturday evening, according to Israeli media, marking a tragic second drowning incident in the same city within hours. Earlier in the day, as The Zioneer reported at 13:41 Jerusalem, a 4-year-old boy was pulled unconscious from the water near Delila Beach and evacuated to Barzilai Medical Center while MDA medics performed CPR; that child's condition was listed as critical. The Channel 14 report describing the second victim as a 5-year-old does not specify location details, but both incidents occurred in Ashkelon. The relationship between the two incidents — whether they are separate events or sequential reports of the same drowning — remains unclear from available sources. No further updates on the 4-year-old's condition have been published since the initial reports.
