A tragic accident in Yerushalayim on Wednesday evening (7 Tishrei) involving a 70-year-old man who fell about 10 meters (10 yards) while constructing his sukka on Keren Kayemet Street. He was reportedly in critical condition when transported to the trauma center of Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital, where he died of his extensive injures a number of hours later.

It appears the man lost his balance while working on his balcony.
