Another Israeli child has died as a result of being left in a car under the sun, the third incident of its kind this month.

An 18-month old girl was left for five hours in a car in the West Bank settlement of Dolev on Monday. After a passer-by found the baby unconscious, paramedics rushed the girl to hospital where she later died.

According to an investigation, the child’s father forgot the toddler was in the car.

A day earlier, a five-month old baby died in a car in the settlement of Shiloh. Reportedly, the child’s father went to sleep after working as a security guard overnight and forgot his baby was still in the car.
