Two people die of heatstroke amid a soaring, prolonged heatwave, medical officials say.
In the southern resort city of Eilat where temperatures hit 48.8 degrees Celsius (119.8 degrees Fahrenheit), a 70-year-old man collapsed with heatstroke and later dies, the Yoseftal Medical Center says.
In Rishon Letzion in central Israel, a man in his 60’s also collapsed with heatstroke and died. A Magen David Adom team was unable to revive him.
