A motorcyclist, approximately 60 years old, was pronounced dead on Friday morning after being found unconscious in an open area near Moshav Zacharia, in the Mateh Yehuda Regional Council, near Beit Shemesh. Medical teams performed advanced resuscitation efforts but were ultimately unsuccessful. Bystanders initially began CPR on the rider, guided by MDA emergency dispatchers over the phone, until rescue forces arrived. Paramedic Nati Ben Shimon described the access to the location as difficult, stating he reached the closest possible point by emergency motorcycle and then ran several hundred meters with medical equipment. He reported finding the rider lying on the sand beside his motorcycle, without a pulse or breathing. MDA, Hatzala Unit, and United Hatzalah forces conducted prolonged resuscitation attempts, including chest compressions, artificial respiration, and medication, but to no avail. It is believed the rider collapsed while riding.
