Two young children were hit by vehicles in Beit Shemesh and Jerusalem on Monday morning, according to reports by the Israel Police Spokesperson Unit.

The first incident was a six-year-old boy who was hit by a bus while crossing the road at a crosswalk. The boy was determined as moderately injured and received medical attention.

In the second case, a four-year-old boy was severely injured in Pisgat Ze'ev after he was hit by a car while stepping onto the road at a spot that didn't have a crosswalk.

The boy was taken to the hospital for further medical treatment.

The Israel Police traffic accident units are investigating both incidents.
