The bodies of two people in their twenties were found Saturday night in a Jerusalem apartment.
Paramedics and police were called to the home on Jabotinsky Street, where they found the two not breathing and without a pulse.
“We carried out medical examinations but we had no choice but to declare them dead,” a Magen David Adom first responder said.
The circumstances of the pair’s death were not immediately clear.
According to Army Radio, the two were renting an apartment through vacation rental service Airbnb and were found by the apartment owner, who alerted the emergency services.

Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
