Netanya: 28-year-old worker falls from a tree during renovation work, moderately injured
On Thursday morning a 28-year-old worker fell 4–5 metres from a tree on Aryeh Ben Eliezer Street. He was taken to the trauma unit at Laniado.
Another workplace accident was reported in Netanya on Thursday, 12 November 2026. At about 8 a.m. emergency services were called to a worker who had fallen from a height on Aryeh Ben Eliezer Street.
According to NetanyaNet, the 28-year-old had climbed a tree during renovation work and fell. Accounts of the height differ: MDA–Hatzalah Sharon paramedics put it at about 4 metres, United Hatzalah volunteers at about 5 metres, and one MDA dispatch report mentioned a fall from a ladder.
He suffered injuries to his limbs and chest and was conscious when responders arrived. MDA paramedics Yossi Buskila, Ben El Amira and Nachman Levy, along with United Hatzalah volunteers Moshe Yom Tov, Meir Krispel and Yaakov Yaish, treated him at the scene with bandages and splints.
He was taken by MDA intensive care ambulance to the trauma room at Laniado Hospital in moderate condition — moderate and stable, according to United Hatzalah.
It is the second serious workplace injury in the city in two days: on 11 November iron rods fell from a crane onto a worker in a factory yard on Tzvi Shechterman Street. Work at height — in trees, on ladders or scaffolding — requires fall protection; even a fall of 3–5 metres can cause serious injury.
