A man in his mid-30s was killed and nine others were injured, including six children, in a traffic accident on Road 98 near Afik in the Golan Heights on Sunday evening. Poriya Medical Center (North) declared a limited mass casualty event to handle the influx of wounded. One of the injured is in serious condition. The identity of the deceased has not been released pending notification of family.
Initial reports at 16:02 Jerusalem from Magen David Adom described a collision between a minibus and a private car, with one fatality and five wounded. Within minutes, MDA corrected the vehicle types to two private cars and updated the wounded count to nine. Firefighters extricated the deceased from a crushed vehicle. N12 later reported that among the wounded were six children, and Poriya Medical Center declared a limited MCI. The sequence of updates reflects the emergency services' ongoing assessment of the scene.
The Golan Heights, a strategic plateau in northern Israel, is home to a network of regional roads including Road 98, which serves as a critical north-south artery. Fatal accidents on such routes occasionally prompt discussions about infrastructure safety. The circumstances of the crash remain under investigation by authorities.
The identity of the deceased has not yet been released. The exact conditions of the other wounded, beyond one in serious condition, have not been specified.
