Magen David Adom paramedics evacuated a 61-year-old worker in serious condition after a fall at a construction site in Taybeh, according to the MDA spokesperson. Firefighters extracted the worker, who was conscious and trapped with body contusions, and MDA transferred him to Meir Hospital.
A 61-year-old construction worker was seriously injured Wednesday morning after falling at a building site in the Arab Israeli town of Taybeh, northeast of Tel Aviv. Magen David Adom paramedics and firefighters extracted the worker, who was conscious but trapped, suffering from body contusions, according to the MDA spokesperson. He was evacuated to Meir Hospital in Kfar Saba in serious condition.
Earlier reports from the scene indicated the worker fell into a pit approximately four meters deep and was struck by a sharp object, according to a Channel 12 News report citing the IDF Special Rescue Unit, which also responded. The condition was initially assessed as moderate by first responders before being upgraded. The incident follows a pattern of workplace falls in the construction sector; as The Zioneer reported earlier this week, a worker was seriously injured in a similar fall in Petah Tikva on Tuesday.
