16-year-old badly hurt in fall into riverbed during Golan hike
Police and Air Force rescuers pull a 16-year-old out of a Golan Heights riverbed after he fell and was seriously hurt while hiking.
The youth was part of a high school hike in the area, near the Nimrod fortress on the plateau.
During the walk, the youth slipped and fell some 10 meters (33 feet), and was bruised throughout his body.
Police rescuers rushed on foot to the scene and a helicopter team from the Air Force’s 669 special rescue unit was deployed.
The young man was taken by the Air Force team to Rambam hospital in Haifa, police say.
