Two hikers who were swept away in the Dead Sea were rescued earlier Friday morning in mild condition after eight hours in the water.
Police said that at 3:00 a.m. the two, who had arrived for a holiday from Ramallah and Bethlehem, were identified by a drone about two kilometers from the beach. A boat arrived at the scene and took them to shore, where they received initial medical treatment and were then evacuated by the Red Crescent.
