A man died in the southern Negev desert on Saturday after being run over by a jeep during an off-road excursion. The man had exited his vehicle to guide his wife, who was driving in reverse. Heavy flash floods in the area earlier in the week had significantly altered the terrain in Nahal Nekarot, creating limited visibility and damaging parts of the route. The jeep became stuck on a high rock, and the driver exited to provide ground guidance to his wife. For reasons yet unclear, the wife accelerated while in reverse, striking her husband and pinning him beneath the vehicle. Emergency services, including the specialized Unit 669, were dispatched to the remote location. Rescuers managed to free the man from under the jeep, but he was pronounced dead at the scene. An investigation into the circumstances of the incident has been opened.
