A series of incidents involving children struck by vehicles were reported across multiple cities, leaving several injured—some seriously.
In Bnei Brak, a 3.5-year-old boy was critically injured after being struck by a vehicle on Rabbi Akiva Street. He suffered multi-system injuries and was transported to Beilinson Hospital in serious condition.
Shortly before that incident, a 4-year-old child was moderately injured after being struck by a bicycle rider on Yerushalayim Street in Bnei Brak. He was taken to the hospital with a neck injury.
In a separate incident in Emanuel, a 7-year-old child was struck by a vehicle at the intersection of Netivot Shalom and Pinchas Levin streets.
Additionally, in Beitar Illit, an accident involving a bus and an electric scooter occurred on Baba Sali Street. A 15-year-old scooter rider and a 40-year-old bus driver sustained light injuries and were treated at the scene.
Emergency responders are urging increased caution on the roads, particularly in areas with heavy pedestrian traffic involving children.

חמול עלינו ועל עוללינו וטפינו
These e-scooters are an extremely hazardous means of transportation. They go very fast and riders ride them as though they’re the only ones out there: on the street between stopped cars as well as on the sidewalks totally oblivious of pedestrians. They really can cause serious hut to both rider as well as the pedestrian they strike. They are dangerous: very dangerous!
