A man died after he fell from a cliff in the western Galilee region Thursday afternoon. It is unknown how or why the man fell.

Troops from Unit 669 were sent to retrieve the man, but it was discovered that he had died after his body had been recovered.

Earlier, a man was killed when he hit his head on a rock during a zip-line accident in the Gilboa mountain range in northern Israel.

“When we arrived at the scene, we found a 43-year-old man who was unconscious, without pulse and not breathing, with serious head injuries after he hit a rock while coasting along a zip-line,” MDA medic Denis Polkov explained.

“We administered medical aid and employed advanced resuscitation techniques, he suffered from a serious head injury - but after resuscitation efforts, we were forced to confirm his death at the scene.”
