A 70-year-old woman died tragically in Jerusalem's Rehavia neighborhood on Rashba Street after being struck by a dump truck carrying bulk materials. Emergency medical services attempted resuscitation at the scene but were forced to declare the woman dead due to severe internal injuries. Witnesses told police they saw the truck run over the pedestrian, but the vehicle was no longer present. Authorities classified the incident as a hit-and-run and initiated a search for the driver. The truck's movements were tracked via surveillance cameras, leading to its discovery, along with the driver, in a vacant lot in the city center. The driver, a 24-year-old Arab resident of Jerusalem, was apprehended and taken back to the accident site to provide details about the incident.
