Rescue teams from the "Lehava" unit renewed their search operations at sunrise Sunday, scanning both sea and land for a 17-year-old youth who vanished in the waters off Netanya’s Sanz Beach this past Friday.
High-Tech Search Efforts
According to the Central District of Fire and Rescue Services, the operation involves a combination of specialized divers, rescue boats, and advanced sonar systems. The search continued without pause throughout Shabbat following an assessment by the Netanya Police Commander and emergency officials.
The Tragic Incident
The crisis began Friday afternoon when two brothers from a well-known Haredi family in Jerusalem were caught in a dangerous current.
- The Older Brother (21): Rescued by bystanders, he was transported to the hospital unconscious. Following intensive CPR by MDA and United Hatzalah teams, his condition remains serious.
- The Younger Brother (17): Disappeared beneath the waves. Despite a massive response from the ZAKA diving unit and maritime police, he is still missing.
