A resident of East Harish says an ambulance for his mother was delayed because the crew had no mobile reception, according to an account published by Yedioth Harish on Thursday, 8 October 2026.
The man says the crew explained afterwards that the building has several entrances and they could not phone to ask which one the family was at. The editors argue the real issue is that the call could not be made, noting that Harish's cellular coverage problems have been known for years and could affect emergency response elsewhere in the city.
The delay's length, the hospital and the location of the coverage gap were not given, and some details were changed to protect the family's privacy. The account is unverified and the report includes no response from the municipality, mobile operators or the ambulance service.
