Magen David Adom revised its earlier report on a pedestrian struck by a vehicle during a protest at the Geha Interchange, stating the wounded man is 93 years old and in moderate condition with a head injury, according to MDA's spokesperson. Initial reports had given the victim's age as 70 and described his condition as serious; the correction brings the report in line with Hatzalah's account, which listed the same age and moderate condition from the start.
Magen David Adom issued a correction to its initial alert regarding a pedestrian struck by a vehicle at the Geha Interchange during a Haredi protest on Sunday evening.
The initial MDA report, sent at 18:39, stated the victim was a man about 70 years old in moderate condition with a head injury. At 18:52, MDA's spokesperson corrected the age to 93, while maintaining the same injury description. Hatzalah's emergency service, which also treated the man at the scene, reported his age as 70 in its initial dispatch before MDA's correction.
As The Zioneer reported at 18:54, the initial account described a 70-year-old moderately injured — a description that now matches the corrected report in terms of severity. A second suspected ramming incident occurred shortly after at the Ganot Junction on Highway 1, where a 21-year-old man was moderately wounded, according to emergency services.
The Geha incident is one of several confrontations at protest sites across central Israel Sunday evening, where demonstrators blocked major roads including the Ayalon Highway and Route 4, leading to clashes with motorists and police.
