Magen David Adom (MDA) medics and paramedics that arrived on the scene gave him medical treatment and after reviving the man's pulse, he was taken to Wolfson Hospital in Holon.
Guy and Eran, two MDA motorcycle EMTs, said in a statement after the event that "When we arrived at the scene, we saw a 35-year-old man on the shore, unconscious, with no pulse, and not breathing."We began performing CPR on him and, after his heart rate returned, we quickly rushed him to the hospital, where his condition is now classified as serious," they added.
Things could have gone differently however, as earlier on Friday, a 25-year-old man drowned at a beach near the Four Seasons Hotel in Netanya, Ynet reported.
MDA paramedics who were dispatched to the scene tried to revive the man who was pulled out from the water, but were unsuccessful and declared his death.
According to MDA, the man is a Palestinian resident from the West Bank.
According to Ynet, this is the fifth case of drowning death in Israel this week and the twenty-sixth since the beginning of May.
