Missing Teen Found Dead After Ashkelon Beach Drowning Incident
A 17-year-old boy who went missing at sea near Ashkelon on Tuesday has been found deceased. Emergency medical services pronounced him dead at the scene after he was discovered unresponsive on the shoreline on Wednesday morning.
On Tuesday, paramedics responded to a report of three men drowning near Delilah Beach in Ashkelon. They evacuated a 24-year-old man to the hospital in serious condition and a 17-year-old boy in mild condition. Rescuers were informed that another teenager was still missing in the water.
Following extensive searches by emergency forces, the missing teenager was found on Wednesday. Paramedics Ben Zion Tetro, Eitan Lasri, and senior paramedic Yaron Kapach stated that after finding the boy, they performed medical checks and were forced to declare his death.
It is unclear if the deceased teen is the same 17-year-old who was initially reported in mild condition or a fourth individual. The initial report mentioned three men drowning, with one teen missing, but the rescue team later found a 17-year-old on the shore. The circumstances surrounding the drownings and the exact number of individuals involved are still being clarified.
