A construction worker has died after falling from a height at a building site in Netanya this afternoon, according to Magen David Adom (MDA) paramedics. MDA medics Omer Paker and Yonatan Yankelvich said they found the man pulseless and not breathing, provided advanced resuscitation, and evacuated him to a hospital in critical condition, where he was declared dead.
The incident is the latest in a series of fatal construction-site falls reported across Israel in recent weeks. The Zioneer has covered similar workplace accidents, including the death of a 42-year-old worker in Tirat Carmel on June 25, a 65-year-old worker critically injured in Netanya on June 30, and a 50-year-old worker severely injured in Herzliya on July 5. The pattern has raised concerns about construction-site safety standards.
The worker's identity has not yet been released. The circumstances of the fall remain under investigation.
