01 · THE DISPATCH

A 16-year-old boy and a 30-year-old man were rescued from the water at an unmarked beach near Beit Yanai, a coastal community north of Netanya, on Friday afternoon (14:56 Jerusalem). MDA paramedics evacuated both to Hillel Yaffe Medical Center, with one in moderate condition and the other listed as mild, N12 reported.

Drowning incidents along Israeli beaches are common during the summer. The Zioneer has reported several such events in recent weeks, including a moderate drowning at Ashdod beach (June 16), a critical rescue near Tel Aviv (June 10), and a boat capsize on the Sea of Galilee (June 13). This is the first report of a multiple-victim drowning in the current batch; further details on the circumstances have not yet been released.
