01 · THE DISPATCH

Two 21-year-old men drowned at Jerusalem Beach in Rishon LeZion on Friday evening, according to N12. MDA paramedics pulled them from the water and evacuated them to Wolfson Medical Center in Holon — one in moderate-serious condition, the other in moderate condition. The incident follows a string of drownings along Israel's coastline this week and month, as The Zioneer reported on Friday afternoon: a 16-year-old and a 30-year-old were rescued at an unmarked beach near Beit Yanai, and a 20-year-old was hospitalized in serious condition after drowning at Atlit beach. Earlier this week, a 26-year-old was hospitalized in moderate condition after drowning at Ashdod beach. The recurring incidents highlight ongoing hazards along unguarded and crowded stretches of shoreline.
