Palestinian man hospitalized for heatstroke

A Palestinian laborer is hospitalized for heatstroke at Ashkelon’s Barzilai Medical Center after collapsing in a field.

The 28-year-old man is said to be in moderate condition. He was employed as an agricultural worker in Sdeh Moshe, in the Lachish region in central Israel.

Israel is experiencing the hottest August since 2010, the Meteorological Service says, with temperatures reaching as high as 46° Celsius (115° Fahrenheit) in parts of the country this week.
