An approximately 94-year-old resident of Ramat Gan collapsed and died on Tuesday at the entrance to his apartment building, shortly after returning from voting in the Knesset elections. The incident occurred on HaHayal Street in Ramat Gan. ZAKA, a volunteer emergency response organization, received a report of a person collapsing and dispatched volunteers from its Ramat Gan team to the scene. The volunteers, Arieh Ben Menachem and Hezi Barzani, confirmed that the deceased had managed to exercise his right to vote before collapsing. The man's daughter, who was present, thanked the volunteers and recounted the final moments with her father. "Dad returned home after exercising his democratic right to vote at the polling station, and then unfortunately collapsed and died," she said. "I am proud of him. He is an example to us all."
