Official figures from the National Road Safety Authority show that 400 people have been killed on the roads in Israel since the start of the year.

Transportation Minister Miri Regev is at the Tel Aviv District Court this morning to observe the proceedings in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s corruption trial.

According to the Ynet news site, Regev refused to comment when asked about the number of deaths, but her spokesman Dudu Sassi responded by saying “399.”

Ynet says that by the same date last year, 378 people had been killed on the roads.
