"A 45-year-old disabled IDF veteran set himself on fire in Yehud on Sunday. Magen David Adom paramedics evacuated the man Sheba Medical Center at Tel Hashomer.

The man was in serious condition with burns on over 80 percent of his body.

Passers-by found the man burning and extinguished the flames before paramedics arrived. The attempted suicide was the fifth self-immolation to take place in Israel in the past week."
