Granddaughter of Begin, 20, Critically Hurt in 5-Story Leap
The 20-year-old granddaughter of former Prime Minister Menachem Begin jumped from the fifth floor of a building in a suicide attempt, news reports said today.
Mirav Begin, an Israeli soldier, was taken to a hospital in critical condition, Israeli newspapers and Israel radio reported.
She jumped from the fifth floor of the building Tuesday in Netanqa, north of Tel Aviv, the reports said.
The reports did not disclose a reason for the suicide attempt, but they said her father, Binyamin Zeev Begin, had been absent for long periods in the United States because of his research as a geologist.
