62-year-old collapses, dies on Safed tour

A 62-year-old man collapses and dies during a touring trip to the northern city of Safed.

Emergency services attempt to revive the man, a resident of central Israel but are forced to pronounce him dead.

Separately, Israeli fire services evacuate tourists in the Biriya Forest near Safed after a brush fire breaks out. There are no reports of injuries, but the roads in the surrounding areas are closed off as firefighters battle the blaze.
