According to sources from Sheba Medical Center, the prime minister lost consciousness while at home in Caesarea and fell as a result, hitting his head.

Prof. Rafi Carasso, a physician specializing in neurology and pain management, spoke to Maariv's 103FM on Sunday morning about Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's medical condition, saying: 

"I don't know what happened to the prime minister but symptoms of dehydration appear quite quickly [and they] do not [continue to] appear 24 hours later. If I see a patient hospitalized due to dehydration and two hours later... I would expect him to be connected to an infusion."
