New Year Started with a Car Crash at Bilu Junction near Rehovot
"Police beefed up their forces Saturday night in the wake of New Year's celebrations and terror warnings. Approximately one thousand police officers patrolled city and intercity streets during the night, pursuing in particular drunk and reckless drivers.
However, two people were killed and seven injured in traffic accidents during the night. One woman was killed and fiver others were injured in a car crash that took place at Bilu junction near Ramle. Elsewhere, a man driving a Subaru Legacy crashed into a parked truck near Kiryat Malakhi's Wiseman junction. The driver's mother, 71, died in the accident.
While reinforcements could be found around bars and nightclubs, 20 partygoers were injured in stabbings and other scuffles during the night. Rescue workers treated 15 revelers ushering in the New Year, one of whom was seriously injured, one moderately and one lightly.
In one incident, two youths threw firebombs at a Jerusalem nightclub after being denied entrance. Seven people were injured and taken for treatment to Hadassah University Hospital in Ein Karem, Jerusalem. One suspect has been arrested.
In a total of three stabbing incidents, seven people were injured, one seriously, three moderately and three lightly.
1,200 celebrants show up at Israeli-Russian oligarch's party
Some 1,200 people celebrated New Year's Eve Saturday night at a party organized by Russian-Israeli billionaire, Arkadi Gaidamak, at the Trask nightclub in Tel Aviv.
Businessmen and models brushed shoulders at what the press has called the social event of the year, though many politicians chose to stay away because of rumors that Gaidamak amassed his vast fortune in arms deals.
The partygoers were served some 8,000 egg rolls, 350 kg of fish and 150 kg of chocolate.
In recent weeks, Gaidamak has been in the news for buying the Betar Jerusalem soccer team and the Hapoel Jerusalem basketball team."
Celebration by ordinary Rehovot residents included snowball games and under-the-palm round dances on snow noticed at Sderot Hen. No joking, see pictures above and below below.
