On Bartenura Street in Bnei Brak a man was lightly injured when he was hit by a flying tree branch and received medical treatment on the spot. A resident of Ashdod was also lightly hurt from a tree that fell on his car. A 94-year-old woman in Be'er Sheva also sustained light injuries after she was knocked down by the wind.
