A 42-year-old Haredi hiker was rescued on Wednesday evening from the Prat Stream after falling and sustaining limb injuries during a hike. He was evacuated in light condition to Hadassah Hospital Ein Kerem in Jerusalem.
Volunteers from the Megilot Dead Sea rescue unit of the Judea and Samaria district of the police, assisted by firefighters from special rescue units in the Judea and Samaria and Jerusalem districts, were dispatched to the scene. The teams reached the hiker within the stream, provided him with initial medical treatment, and then extracted him from the area. Following the rescue, the hiker was handed over to an MDA team, which evacuated him for further examination and treatment at Hadassah Hospital Ein Kerem.
The incident occurred concurrently with another complex rescue operation by the Megilot unit in the Kziv Stream.
