Three children killed in separate fatal accidents across Israel over one day
Among those killed were a 5-year-old left in the car, a 12-year-old in the Jordan River, and a 16-year-old who fell while rappelling.
Three children tragically lost their lives in separate accidents across Israel on Sunday. In Lod, a 5-year-old boy died after being left in a hot car for about two hours. Found unconscious and suffering from heatstroke, Magen David Adom teams performed advanced resuscitation efforts but could not save him. Meanwhile, a 12-year-old boy named Elhanan Karni drowned in the Jordan River near Yesod HaMa ala while on a family vacation in a watercraft.
Police and rescue forces launched an extensive search, but to no avail. Later that afternoon, a 16-year-old boy from Katzrin, Yehonatan Efraim Klimian, fell from a height of 30-40 meters while rappelling at Keshet Cave in the western Galilee. Despite paramedics' efforts, he was pronounced dead at the scene.
