A 7-year-old boy was killed in southern Israel when he was hit by a freight train in the south, medics say.

The child apparently rode onto the tracks near Nevatim on his bicycle.

The boy was declared dead on the scene by medical personnel, who say they found the bike a long distance away from the child’s body, apparently due to the force of the impact.
