Teen's Kidnapping Claim in Hizme Resolved as Drunken Prank

A 15-year-old boy contacted Israeli police late Saturday night, claiming he had been kidnapped in the Hizme area. Following the report, a significant deployment of IDF, Shin Bet, and Israel Police forces, including senior officers and special units, was immediately initiated.

Initially, the incident was treated as a credible kidnapping threat due to the seriousness of the report. However, within approximately 20 minutes, investigations revealed that no kidnapping had occurred.

It was determined that the situation involved three intoxicated teenagers. Following this clarification, the large-scale security operation was called off, and the deployed forces returned to their regular duties.

The incident was resolved quickly, with the situation returning to normal after the initial report was thoroughly investigated and debunked.
