Beachgoers injured by lighting strike said to be in critical condition

Two of the three people that were apparently injured by a lighting strike on Zikim beach outside Ashkelon are in critical condition, according to reports.

The third person is reportedly in serious condition but is semi-conscious.

The unusual incident comes during powerful lightning storms that have descended on Israel last night all the way from the Golan Heights in the north to the country’s south.
