Teenage Tel Aviv hit-and-run victim dies

The 17-year-old boy who was seriously injured in a Tel Aviv hit-and-run succumbed to his wounds at the Ichilov Medical Center Thursday.

Ari Nesher and a friend were riding on their electric bikes on the city’s northern Rokach Boulevard on Sunday night when they were hit by Israeli Premier League soccer player Itzhak Asefa.

Asefa was arrested hours later and police said that the driver’s blood alcohol content was found to have been five times the legal amount.

Nesher was the son of acclaimed Israeli director Avi Nesher.
