Mayan Shreiber and Yosef Chaim Banjo, two fifteen-year-olds, have been located safe and sound after long hours of worry and anxiety. The two had set out on Monday for the Samarian community of Evyatar, without a cell phone or other means of making contact, and nothing was heard of them until Tuesday afternoon.

"Mayan left Jerusalem late last night with a backpack and bag with his friend," his brother Emmanuel told Israel National News. "They were headed for Evyatar. They haven't made contact since, and that's not like them," he stressed. "We haven't been able to find a trace of them. The Israel Dog Unit is conducting searches."

The Israel Dog Unit is a volunteer organization that searches for missing individuals with the aid of specially trained dogs.
