Four people are wounded Thursday within a few hours in various workplace accidents around the country, Channel 2 reports.
A 40-year-old laborer fell from a height at a Tel Aviv construction site and is hospitalized at the city’s Ichilov Hospital in moderate condition.
Earlier, a 30-year-old worker lost several fingers when a metal door closed on his hand in the village of Regba near the northern town of Nahariya.
And on Thursday morning, a 25-year-old laborer fell at a construction site in Sde Moshe, in the Lachish area south of Tel Aviv. He was taken by helicopter to Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba, where he is hospitalized in moderate condition.
At the same time, another worker in his 60s fell from a high ladder in the Haredi city of Modiin Illit. He is hospitalized at the Sheba Medical Center in Tel Hashomer in serious condition.
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.
