While the funeral of 6-year-old Matan Zinman, who was killed in the serious car accident that happened yesterday on Route 60 near the Ma’ale Lavona junction, took place this afternoon (Thursday), two Israelis were killed in a serious car accident in Sinai near Nueva. Later three people were killed in an accident on Route 6 near the Kiryat Gat interchange.
On the road leading from the Taba crossing to Nueva, a shuttle bus carrying several Israelis was traveling and collided with a private vehicle. Five Israelis were moderately and lightly injured and two others were seriously injured. Egyptian media reported on the accident, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was updated on the details.
The victims of the serious accident were first taken to an Egyptian hospital, where two of them were pronounced dead. After negotiations between Israel and Egypt, the dead and wounded were brought to Israel and the IDF sent helicopters with 669 fighters to the border for assistance and evacuation to Yoseftal Hospital in Eilat. This evening it was allowed to publish that 24-year-old Yuval Keshet is one of the dead.

Around 19:30, a serious car accident occurred on Route 6 near the Kiryat Gat interchange. MDA paramedics and medics reported three victims, about 30 years old, two men and a woman – unconscious in a critical condition. Later, they had to be pronounced dead. The accident, involving two vehicles, occurred at the same place where a vehicle was crushed in a ditch on the side of the road from an accident that happened a little Before.
Director of the Lachish region of the MDA Haim Kardi said: “This is a shocking car accident. We saw 2 crushed vehicles. A man and a woman in their 40s were trapped in the vehicle that was on the sidelines, and in the other vehicle on the road, the driver of the vehicle, a man about 30 years old, was trapped. We performed medical tests, they were unconscious without a pulse and without breathing, and in a short time we had to determine their death.”
The funeral of 6-year-old Matan Zinman
The funeral of the late Matan Zinman, who, as I remember, was killed yesterday near the top of Buna in Binyamin, was held on Har Hamanuhut. Haim, Matan’s father, gave a eulogy: “I love you, my son, mother wanted very much to come and she can’t, but she wanted me to tell you, ‘You were Sweet boy, I wanted to see you grow up and it won’t happen’. Your case is ready for first grade, you’ve been talking about it for two years, but unfortunately you won’t be able to be in first grade.”
“I’m sorry I wasn’t there to catch you. My dear, I won’t see you anymore and neither will mom, we’ll miss you very much. You’ve never seen me cry and now you do. I want to say thank you for six good years that made us so happy. You were a brother Well, you will always be with us. We will miss you, we will never forget you.”
Chaim read the obituary written by Matan’s mother, Rivka, who could not come due to her injury to accompany her son on his last journey: “It’s unthinkable that I won’t see you, all the children loved you, there is a hole in the family forever. I’m sorry you were so excited for first grade. That I wasn’t there to catch you.”
