A man in his 50s became the latest fatal drowning in Israel as the swimming season has barely begun. The man drowned in his home and was transported by Magen David Adom to Ziv Hospital in the city, where he was pronounced dead.

On Monday, June 10, 2019, YWN-Israel reported three children had drowned since Shabbos. At the time of that report, those drownings were not fatal but some of the victims were in serious and critical condition.
