Missing Israeli man found dead in forest near Tiberias after 10-day search
Katrial Nachman Kinan, 24, disappeared after telling his family he was traveling to Safed; his body was found in Switzerland Forest and sent for examination as authorities investigate the circumstances of his death
The body of 24-year-old Katrial Nachman Kinan, from Beit Shemesh, was discovered in Switzerland Forest near Tiberias on Thursday afternoon. Kinan had been missing for approximately 10 days after setting out for Safed. His body was sent to the Abu Kabir forensic institute for further examination. Kinan's family had been notified of his death.
Kinan was last seen near Gai Beach on the shore of the Sea of Galilee. His family had last heard from him on Sunday evening, when he reportedly told his mother that he was heading to Safed. However, he never arrived. According to cellphone location data, Kinan reached Tiberias before disappearing. The family had been actively searching for their son, collaborating with police in Beit Shemesh and conducting searches in Tiberias and Beit Shemesh.
The area between Safed and Meron has been referred to as the "Israeli Bermuda Triangle" due to a history of missing-person cases. Over the years, at least 10 individuals have disappeared in the region, including Haymanot Kasau and Moishy Kleinerman. Police have emphasized that there is no identifiable pattern linking these cases. The challenging terrain, consisting of dense forests, open spaces, mountainous regions, and limited surveillance cameras, has further complicated search efforts.
