A complex rescue operation took place in eastern Gush Etzion after a family of six became trapped by flash floods during a desert excursion. Volunteers from the Etzion-Yehuda police rescue unit were dispatched to locate and extract the family, a couple and their four children, who reside in Gush Etzion. Their vehicle became stuck in an area descending towards the desert plain, near the village of Za'atara.

Concerned for their safety due to the flowing floodwaters, rescue teams acted swiftly. The volunteers, using 4x4 vehicles and accompanied by military forces for security, entered the area via the village of Za'atara to reach the stranded family.

Police reported that the family was found healthy and unharmed, requiring no medical attention. They were safely extricated from the remote location. The police spokesperson stated that rescue forces had responded to three separate flood-related incidents in the Judean Desert streams that day, involving search, rescue, and resilience teams. No injuries were reported in any of these events.
