Dramatic rescue: Policeman saves thief from burning vehicle

During the pursuit of a stolen vehicle, the car entered a roundabout

and crashed into a monument, catching fire.




A police officer in pursuit of a car thief realized that the car had crashed into a monument in Rishon Letzion, before catching on fire.

The officer immediately got out of his vehicle and approached the stolen car, rescuing the injured driver just seconds before the vehicle was completely incinerated.

The car thief, a 20-year-old from Ramallah, was taken to Wolfson Hospital in Holon in serious condition with multiple systemic injuries.

MDA emergency medic Gadalya Rabinowitz recalled: "The injured was rescued from the vehicle that caught fire while he was conscious and suffering from multi-system damage. We provided him with medical treatment that included immobilization and medication to stabilize his condition and relieve pain, before evacuating him for further treatment."

Israelis Invited to Help Preserve 3500-Year-Old Canaanite Gate Damaged by Huge Fire

Tel Gezer National Park is a hill dating back to biblical times, considered one of the most important archaeological sites in Israel.

In July 2022, a fire erupted in Tel Gezer, spreading over an area of hundreds of acres. The fire damaged the ancient Canaanite gate structure, and now archaeological conservation work has begun at the site. The project involves the local community, under the guidance of Israel Antiquities Authority conservation experts, with the cooperation of the Tel Gezer Regional Council, and financing from the Heritage Ministry and the Nature and Parks Authority.



According to Avi Mashiach, director of conservation projects at the IAA’s Preservation Administration, “Most of the stone finds at the site were not damaged in the fire, but the southern gate was built of brittle mud bricks and was damaged. We detected the crumbling and detachment of bricks, which threatened to deteriorate the built mass. These damages affected the stability of the structure. And that’s when the gate conservation initiative was born. The conservation works are based on archaeological research and are carried out using methods that imitate ancient construction methods. The materials we use are delicate, and integrate well with the original building materials, but incorporate modern technology to ensure the structure’s stability and durability for a long time to come.
