A 33-year-old diver drowned Tuesday in a work accident at the new Haifa port.

He was rushed to the city’s Rambam Hospital in critical condition, where he died.
Police said the man was hurt while operating underwater equipment, but gave no further details.
An investigation has been launched into the death.
