Searchers found alive and well a few minutes ago Yaakov (Yankele) Schenkolewski, a boy who was missing. Hundreds of rescue workers converged throughout Tuesday night on the western slopes of Mount Carmel, searching for the 14-year-old boy.
The Bnei Brak youth earlier left his family, who was hiking in Nachal Sefunim in northern Israel, on what was expected to be a short detour. As the daylight waned and the boy failed to return, the family began searching for him. When they failed to find him, they called authorities, who called in extra hands by nightfall as the search continued.
