Other members of Ma”ayan Domnovitch”s family were also injured in the accident and were evacuated to Soroka Hospital in Be”er Sheva.
The father of the family and their seven-year-old son are in critical condition. The mother and the other two children, aged six and four, are listed in moderate condition.
