Three teens were swept away on Wednesday at an unorganized beach near Palmachim in central Israel. Two of the teens were rescued and received medical treatment from Magen David Adom.
At the same time, the Fire and Rescue Service's Lehava Unit, the police, and other rescue organizations launched an intense search effort for the third teen. After an hour, he was found among the rocks in critical condition.
He was extracted by a diver and evacuated to Wolfson Medical Center by an MDA ambulance team while performing CPR on him.
The police stated that "upon receiving the report, officers from the Yavne Station together with other emergency authorities launched a widespread search on the shore and in the sea in Palmachim, using various operational means. Dozens of officers, volunteers, and local authority employees are participating in the search."
