In what seems to have been an accident, a car drove onto the sidewalk and hit several people on Aryeh Akiva Street in Tel Aviv’s Madinah Square on Monday. One of the people struck was pronounced dead at the hospital, according to MDA and police reports.

Four injured persons were transported to Ichilov Hospital by Magen David Adom medics and paramedics.

One of them included a young woman in her 20s who was in critical condition and received life-saving treatment while being transported. She was ultimately declared dead at the hospital.
