A man was killed Friday morning in Ashdod after falling from a breakwater and becoming caught between the water and the rocks.

The victim, aged 30, had come to fish and fell for unknown reasons.

Firefighters pulled the man out of the water but paramedics were unable to save him.

On Wednesday an 83-year-old man died when he drowned off the coast of Dor Beach, near Zichron Yaakov. Last week, four people drowned in a series of incidents within a 24-hour period.
