Oct 26, 3:01 PM ET: Ichud Hatzalah of Israel 1221 said its medics treated two women, aged 50 and 30, after a two-car crash, and that they went to hospital hurt “moderately” and “lightly.” It did not say who took them there or to which hospital.
Oct 26, 3:39 PM ET: MDA said its crews were taking two women, both about 30, to Shamir-Assaf Harofeh hospital, both hurt “moderately,” with head and arm or leg injuries. The news site Kikar HaShabbat reported MDA’s version.
Both posts are about the same crash, but they give different ages and different injuries. Which is it?
The proof
Their statement: 3:01 PM ET, Oct 26, 2026 — Ichud Hatzalah of Israel 1221 Telegram: its medics treated “two women (aged 50 and 30)” after a two-car crash on Route 1 near the Shapirim interchange, and they were taken to hospital “in moderate and light condition.” The post does not say who took them or which hospital.
The record: 3:39 PM ET — MDA: a crash between 2 cars on Route 1 near the Shapirim interchange. MDA’s EMTs and paramedics were treating and taking to Shamir-Assaf Harofeh hospital “2 women about 30, in moderate condition, with head and limb injuries.” Kikar HaShabbat reported MDA’s version. Srugim ran each organization’s version in a separate news flash.
Which is it? Ages and how badly someone is hurt can be judged differently at first; which account is right is unproven.
