Seven injured, 2 seriously, in car accident along Lebanon border

Seven people were injured to varying degrees when a bulldozer collided with another vehicle in the area between Har Dov and Mt. Hermon near the Lebanese border on Tuesday, according to initial reports.

The victims received some treatment on the scene before being taken to nearby hospitals, including Haifa’s Rambam Medical Center and Safed’s Ziv Hospital, for further care.

Two of the victims were initially reported to be in critical condition, but this was later improved to serious condition at the hospital.

Magen David Adom and IDF helicopters arrived at the scene to transport the victims to the hospital, though treatment was provided by military medics, according to MDA.
