A 65-year-old worker was critically injured Tuesday afternoon after falling from a height at a building site in Netanya, according to Israeli media reports. Rescue Union medics provided initial treatment and evacuated him to Laniado Hospital in unstable condition.
A 65-year-old construction worker was critically injured around 14:51 Tuesday after falling from a height at a building site in Netanya. Rescue Union medics treated him at the scene and evacuated him to Laniado Hospital in unstable condition, according to the initial report.
This marks the second such incident in Netanya within hours: The Zioneer reported earlier Tuesday that a worker around 60 was critically injured in a separate fall from a roof on Hashmona'im Street at approximately 13:26, also evacuated to Laniado. The two events appear distinct — different locations and times — but highlight a pattern of fall-related injuries at construction sites in central Israel. Six additional fall incidents at work sites across the country have been reported by The Zioneer in June alone, from Nof HaGalil to Ashkelon, mostly involving workers in their 40s through 80s.
Details on the circumstances of today's fall — including the specific location within the site and the cause — have not yet been reported. The incident is under investigation.
