A 25-year-old man drowned to death off the coast of Rishon LeZion on Friday evening, reports indicate. Rescue teams recovered his body.
The incident comes shortly after The Zioneer reported at 19:24 Jerusalem on a first drowning victim, also a 25-year-old man, in the same area. The two reports appear to refer to separate events on the same stretch of coast within about two hours, though the precise locations and whether they are related remain unconfirmed.
Friday evening saw multiple drownings along Israel's coastline. Earlier, at around 19:07, two 21-year-old men drowned at Jerusalem Beach in Rishon LeZion and were evacuated in moderate-serious and moderate condition to Wolfson Medical Center. MDA has since the start of the swimming season treated 70 drowning victims, nine of whom died.
