Almost an entire family is wiped out by a traffic collision in the north.
A woman, 36, and two children, aged 6 and 9, are killed during a head-on collision between a car and a minibus near Kibbutz el-Rom in the Golan Heights. The minibus driver, 63, is lightly injured in the accident.
The father of the family is evacuated by helicopter to the Rebecca Sieff Hospital in Safed. Another daughter of the family, and the minibus driver, are evacuated by ambulance.
Following the accident, Road 98 is closed in both directions.
Firefighting crews arrive at the scene and extricate the injured and dead from the car, which is mangled beyond recognition.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
