Missing 4-year-old child Younes Abu Ghanem found in Ashkelon following police search
Abu Ghanem marks the second young child to go missing in the Ashkelon area within a month, after four-year-old Yuval Kogan was found after he went missing from Hofit Beach.
The Israel Police have discovered four-year-old Younes Abu Ghanem from Rahat after he went missing at Delilah Beach in Ashkelon, according to N12 News. Abu Ghanem was reunited with his family in good health. He was last seen near the beach roughly an hour before authorities issued a public appeal for help in locating him. Law enforcement officers and volunteers carried out thorough searches in the vicinity to find the child.
Abu Ghanem is the second young child to disappear in the Ashkelon area within the past month; four-year-old Yuval Kogan went missing from Hofit Beach and was found after an overnight search. Kogan was discovered awake and in stable condition by horseback searchers, over 24 hours after he went missing. The search operation involved hundreds of police officers and civilian volunteers, and celebrations erupted on the beach upon the announcement of his recovery.
"After many hours of frantic, nonstop searches for four-year-old Yuval Kogan, who was last seen yesterday afternoon, the missing person was located a short time ago on Nitzanim Beach, safe and sound," stated the Southern Region Missing Persons Unit.
