With talk of civil war filling Israel's media scene today, "A civil war of a different nature is taking place on Israel's roads," said Arutz-7's Ariel Kahane today. Nine people were killed in car accidents since Friday, the highest in memory in such a short time. One accident near Be'er Sheva on Friday night involved two twin brothers and a friend; one twin, who apparently dozed off at the wheel, is hospitalized, and his two passengers were killed. This morning, a woman driver - the sister of Beit Shemesh Mayor Danny Vaknin - was injured, but her daughter was killed and three other children were hurt when she crashed into an oncoming truck. Other victims included two Arab residents of Haifa on a notoriously dangerous curve in the northern city early this morning, a young speeding driver in Jerusalem, and a pedestrian in Petach Tikvah.
