A man, approximately 40 years old, was discovered deceased on a running trail in Jerusalem's Pisgat Ze'ev neighborhood on October 13, 2026. The discovery was made by a morning runner in the Zamri stream area, who found the man lying motionless and immediately alerted emergency services. Paramedics from Magen David Adom (MDA) arrived at the scene and pronounced him dead.
Volunteers from ZAKA (Zihui Le'కరב Atzmi), Israel's volunteer emergency response organization, were dispatched to the scene. They worked to preserve the dignity of the deceased and collect necessary findings. Due to the swift and professional actions of ZAKA's Jerusalem District Commander Bentsi Oiring, along with team leader Shuki Becher and volunteer Itzik Rot, the complex procedures were managed, and the body was released directly from the scene for burial, bypassing the need for transfer to the Abu Kabir Forensic Institute.
The incident occurred around 9:05 AM on Moshe Tagger Street. The runner who made the initial discovery was on a routine morning jog when he noticed the unresponsive individual.
