Netanyahu is Discharged from Hospital Following Dizzy Spell

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was discharged on Sunday after an overnight hospital stay for check-ups and monitoring following a dizzy spell.
Netanyahu, 73, was rushed to Sheba Medical Center on Saturday after feeling mild dizziness. His office said he had left the hospital around midday after stating earlier that his test results were normal and that he was feeling “very good.”
The medical center said Netanyahu was in “excellent” condition after a series of tests, including cardiovascular ones.
Netanyahu's office said he had spent the previous day at the Sea of Galilee, a popular vacation spot in northern Israel where temperatures climbed to about 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) amid a stifling country-wide heat wave. After a series of tests, the initial assessment was that the veteran Israeli leader was dehydrated.
After being hospitalized, Netanyahu released a video on social media last night. Smiling, he said that he had been out in the sun on Friday without wearing a hat and without water. “Not a good idea,” he said.
Doctors ordered him to remain in the hospital overnight for further observation, and his weekly Cabinet meeting was delayed by a day and rescheduled for Monday, his office said.

An avalanche hit a group of five skiers in Italy’s northern Piedmont region on Sunday, killing three of them, rescuers said.
Two survived and were transported to the hospital by helicopter, The Associated Press reported.
The avalanche hit around midday on the eastern face of Punta Valgrande, a summit on the border between Italy and Switzerland.
The skiers who died were dragged downhill for several hundred meters (yards), suffering fatal injuries.
An alert had been issued in the area above 2,100 meters (6,900 feet), warning of “considerable danger of avalanches.”
