Intense searches over the weekend for a ten-year-old boy from the hareidi town of Kiryat Sefer (Modiin Illit) ended Saturday morning when he was found wandering the streets in Bnei Brak.

A police investigation found that on Friday at 12:00, the boy got off the school transportation vehicle that took him home, together with his 12-year-old brother, at their regular station.

He did not come home, however. At 1:30 a.m. bfore dawn Saturday, the parents went to the police station to file a complaint. A special squad for Missing Persons’ Location from the Samaria rescue unit went into action overnight, and defined the event as one that involved “a high risk to human life,” given the boy’s age and the many hours that had passed since he went missing.

An HQ was erected near the family’s home and 30 volunteers who were called upo despite the Sabbath began to comb the area near the home and to inspect the transport vehicle.

At 7:00 a.m., 19 hours after he went missing, a telephone call to the parent’s home told them that the boy had been found at Bnei Brak.
