The search continues for an 18-year-old yeshiva bochur missing since Friday at Sanz Beach in Netanya, as large-scale efforts enter a fourth day with growing concern. As YWN reported on Friday, the Bochur and his brother went missing after being swept into the sea together on Friday. His brother was located in critical condition.

With calmer sea conditions today, ZAKA’s elite diving units are expanding operations deeper into the water, increasing the range of underwater searches in hopes of locating the missing bochur.

Overnight, ZAKA teams conducted shoreline searches across Netanya. Following a fresh assessment and analysis of sea currents, officials have now shifted the primary search area slightly north of the original location, where there is a higher likelihood the bochur may have drifted.

Multiple specialized units—including divers, drones, and advanced technological equipment—are actively operating both at sea and along the coastline.

The public is urged to continue davening for Yeshaya ben Shoshana.
Tefillos are also requested for his brother, Yisochor Dov ben Shoshana, who remains in critical condition.
