Two people — a 93-year-old man and a 21-year-old man — were moderately wounded in two suspected deliberate ramming incidents at separate protests in Petah Tikva and Jerusalem, according to Israeli emergency services. Both were evacuated to hospitals in moderate condition.
Magen David Adom reported two suspected deliberate vehicle-ramming incidents at separate protest sites within a short span on Tuesday evening. In Petah Tikva, a 93-year-old pedestrian was moderately injured near the Geha Interchange — an earlier report had placed his age at 70, which MDA later corrected. In Jerusalem, a 21-year-old protester was also moderately wounded in what authorities are treating as a suspected ramming. As The Zioneer reported earlier this hour (18:54–18:55 Jerusalem), a separate suspected ramming at Ganot Junction and a serious ramming at Geha Junction have also been documented in the same protest area, making this the latest of several such incidents reported during tonight's demonstrations. Police have secured the scenes; investigations are ongoing to determine whether the drivers acted deliberately.
