A 93-year-old male pedestrian was moderately injured with a head injury after being struck by a vehicle near the Geha Interchange. Magen David Adom evacuated him to Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikva. The incident appears to be a traffic accident, according to initial reports from N12.
The incident occurred at approximately 19:00 Jerusalem near the Geha Interchange, a major junction on Highway 4. The victim, initially reported by N12 as a 93-year-old pedestrian, sustained a head injury and was classified in moderate condition. MDA medics provided on-site treatment before evacuating him to Beilinson Hospital. The circumstances remain under investigation; no deliberate motive has been alleged by sources.
Earlier today in the same area, during a protest in Petah Tikva, a 70-year-old pedestrian was moderately injured in a separate vehicle-related incident (subsequently corrected to age 93, though MDA's earlier statement revised the age). The two incidents in the same vicinity have prompted public attention, though no operational or security connection has been reported.
