A six-year-old boy riding a scooter was killed Sunday evening after being struck by a bus on Avnei Nezer Street in Modi'in Illit. Emergency medical services pronounced the child dead at the scene. Police have opened an investigation into the circumstances of the incident.

Paramedics arriving at the scene found the boy unconscious, without a pulse or breathing, following the collision with the bus. Despite resuscitation efforts, his injuries were deemed critical, and he was pronounced dead. The incident occurred around 5:10 PM.

The article also recounts a separate fatal incident from Wednesday, where 61-year-old bus driver Absalom Revivo was killed in a collision with a truck near Mahanayim in the Upper Galilee. Revivo was driving soldiers from the Tel Nof Air Force base when a truck veered into his lane. His quick thinking in swerving the bus saved the lives of approximately 30 soldiers on board, though some sustained minor injuries. Revivo's widow, Vered, described him as a devoted father and a "hero" who saved the soldiers. Soldiers from the bus attended his funeral.
