Man Injured After Falling While Dismantling Sukkah in Beit Shemesh

A 34-year-old man was moderately injured Monday afternoon after falling from a height of about three meters while dismantling a sukkah in the Ramat Daled neighborhood of Beit Shemesh.

The incident occurred on Reish Lakish Street, where the man reportedly lost his balance during the removal of the sukkah structure and fell, sustaining serious injuries to his limbs.

Emergency medical teams rushed to the scene and provided initial treatment, which included stopping bleeding, applying bandages, and stabilizing the injured areas. The man was then transported to Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Yerushalayim in moderate condition.

Yehoshua Gottlieb, a volunteer with the Tzevet Hatzalah rescue organization, recounted: “When I arrived, I was directed to a balcony where I found a 34-year-old man suffering from significant limb injuries after falling from about three meters while taking apart a sukkah. Together with MDA paramedics and medics, we administered first aid that included stopping bleeding, stabilizing the injuries, and dressing the wounds. He was evacuated by a Magen David Adom intensive care unit in moderate condition for further treatment in the trauma ward at Shaare Zedek Hospital in Yerushalayim.”
