Teenager Missing Since Ashkelon Drowning Found Dead; Second Fatal Incident in Sea of Galilee
Rescuers on Saturday morning located the body of a 17-year-old boy who had been missing since a drowning incident the previous evening in Ashkelon. The teenager was found on the shoreline by Magen David Adom (MDA) paramedics after extensive searches by other forces. Paramedics described the scene, stating he was found "unconscious with no pulse and no breathing," and his death was pronounced at the scene.
The 17-year-old was among three individuals who got into trouble in the sea near Delilah Beach in Ashkelon on Friday evening. A 24-year-old man was rescued in serious condition and transported to Barzilai Hospital, while another 17-year-old was rescued in mild condition. The search for the now-deceased teenager continued until Saturday morning.
In a separate incident on Saturday, a man in his 30s drowned in the Sea of Galilee near the Separate Beach. MDA paramedics arrived to find the man unconscious, without a pulse or breathing, and pronounced him dead at the scene.
The article also briefly mentions that a member of the elite Yamam counter-terrorism unit, Itai Peretz, was the young man whose body was found on a beach in Haifa, though details of that incident are not elaborated upon.
