A woman was killed Saturday in a multi-car collision in central Israel that left several others wounded.

Paramedics said four other people were wounded: a 43-year-old woman, who was moderately hurt; two girls, aged 7 and 8, who were lightly injured; and a 17-year-old girl who suffered wounds to her limbs, but whose condition was not specified by the Magen David Adom ambulance service.
All of them were taken to Sheba Medical Center in Ramat Gan for treatment.
