An 89-year-old man is taken to hospital from his home in Arad in southern Israel with signs of hypothermia, the Magen David Adom ambulance service says.

Medics have taken the man to Beersheba’s Soroka Medical Center, where he is listed in moderate-to-serious condition.

Earlier today, a homeless man in Tel Aviv was found in critical condition with signs of hypothermia, and later died at a hospital.

Israel is bracing for a major storm this coming week.
