A seven-year-old girl was hit by a vehicle on Rechov Avnei Nezer in Modiin Illit on Thursday afternoon.
MDA paramedics arrived at the scene and evacuated her in critical condition to Sheba Hospital in Tel Hashomer while performing life-saving medical treatment.
Sadly, shortly after arriving at the hospital, the doctors were forced to declare her death.
The girl was later identified as Sora Rubinstein, daughter of R’ Moshe and Adina Rubinstein.
A witness at the scene said that a Hatzalah volunteer who was on the way to a call struck the child as she was crossing the street at the crosswalk.
The driver of the vehicle has been detained by the police and an investigation has been opened into the circumstances of the incident.
Two other Israelis were killed in car accidents earlier on Thursday, including a policewoman driving a motorcycle toward Jerusalem who was hit by a truck and a female pedestrian in Netanya who was hit by a car.

this not covid is the real danger
Now if you are an Israeli, you would blame the child for crossing the crosswalk! A child dead, because of a selfish, self centered person who just thinks of him/herself ! ME ME & ME, and if something happens, deflect the Blame on others. There are basically laws on the books, but no one to enforce the law!! PERIOD!! That is why this behavior lingers on. I myself was almost run over in the crosswalk, when a driver had the audacity to zoom by in opposite lane!! Do you think there is anyone to call to report this? NO!! Israel offices are too busy telling you, to turn to some other office! No on wants to take responsibility. ברוך דיין אמת
