(VIDEO) Head-on collision near Hebron kills parents of eight, Palestinians stone rescue services
VIDEO - Eight children were orphaned Thursday morning, when their parents, Rabbi Avraham (41) and Simcha (38) Cohen-Or, were killed in a head-on collision with a bus near Hebron.
One of the couple’s daughters was critically injured in the accident, and three others were lightly injured.

The accident may have occurred as a result of poor weather conditions, which caused the driver to lose control and collide with the bus at the intersection.
A Magen David Adom crew arrived at the scene in order to treat the injured, but found the parents already dead. Their daughter, who was critically injured, and three other victims, were rushed to hospital by helicopter.
While the MDA crew was working to evacuate the victims, Palestinians stoned the ambulances and police vehicles at the scene.
Since the beginning of the year, 89 people have been killed in road accidents in Israel.
