A pedestrian fatality and two moderate injuries were reported Sunday afternoon when a vehicle struck three Palestinian pedestrians in open desert terrain near Khirbat al-Aza'iq, an unrecognized Bedouin settlement in the Negev. Magen David Adom paramedics pronounced a man approximately 30 years old dead at the scene from multisystem trauma; two men aged 21 and 31 were evacuated to Soroka Medical Center in Be'er Sheva with limb and back injuries. The driver fled and has not been located; the incident is being treated as a hit-and-run. The Zioneer has reported several traffic fatalities in the Negev region this year, but no prior reporting is available on this specific incident. The circumstances of the collision remain under investigation by Israel Police.
