An eight-year-old boy was killed over Shabbat after he fell while playing with friends over a group of five-meter-tall haystacks in Moshav Patish in the Negev.
Magen David Adom medics and paramedics called to the scene found Yaakov Tzafriri with bruises all over his body and buried under a haystack in a hayloft near his parents' house.
Police have opened an investigation into the incident.
The Merhavim Regional Council stated: "The child who was killed today in Moshav Patish is the late Yaakov Tzafriri, the son of Eitan and Shiran Tzafriri. Please note that at the request of the family, please indicate the full name of the child, since there are several children with the same name in the locality. The date of his funeral has not yet been announced. The Merhavim Regional Council shares the family's heavy grief and will continue to accompany and envelop the family."
