    What’s New

    A tragic collision near Yavne on Wednesday night resulted in the deaths of three women in their 20s. The Magen David Adom ambulance service responded swiftly, providing medical attention to the affected individuals, including an injured man in his 40s.

    Details

    The three women were found trapped in their vehicle with severe injuries, as described by MDA medics. Despite the complexity of the rescue operations and thorough medical evaluations, the women unfortunately showed no signs of life and were pronounced dead at the scene. The man involved in the accident, initially thought to have light injuries, is now considered seriously injured.

    Why It Matters

    This incident is a reflection of the worrying trend in traffic fatalities in Israel. According to the Or Yarok road safety watchdog, this year has seen over 405 fatalities from traffic accidents, marking an unsettling increase compared to previous years.

    The Bigger Picture

    Yaniv Yaakov, director of Or Yarok, has criticized the rise in fatalities, pointing to governmental responsibility. He emphasizes that while European countries are making progress in reducing casualties, Israel faces challenges due to budget cuts, lack of police presence on the roads, and public indifference. He calls for urgent reform, highlighting that with the right measures, 2025 could be a year of significant positive change.
