Three Men Drown in Separate Incidents Across Israel, All in Critical Condition
On Saturday, three men drowned in separate incidents at different beaches across Israel, with all victims in critical condition. Emergency teams from Magen David Adom (MDA) were dispatched to three locations after reports of men pulled from the water without pulse or breathing. Paramedics provided advanced life-saving treatment and performed prolonged resuscitation efforts before transporting the men to hospitals while still unconscious and without vital signs.
The first incident occurred at a beach in Netanya, where a 71-year-old man was found unconscious. MDA paramedics arrived via ATV and continued CPR initiated by bystanders under guidance from MDA dispatch. He was rushed to Laniado Hospital in critical condition.
Shortly after, a 65-year-old man was rescued near Herzliya beach, also without pulse or breathing. MDA teams performed advanced resuscitation on site, then transported him in an intensive care ambulance to Ichilov Hospital while continuing CPR.
Simultaneously, a 64-year-old man was pulled from the water near Neve Yam beach unconscious. MDA paramedics administered chest compressions, ventilation, and medication before evacuating him to Rambam Hospital, still in critical condition and under ongoing resuscitation efforts.
All three men remain in critical condition as hospitals continue life-saving interventions. The incidents highlight a tragic and busy weekend at Israel’s beaches.
