A body has been recovered from the sea off the Tel Aviv coast and is being transferred to the Abu Kabir Forensic Institute for identification.

The discovery comes after 10 days of intense searches for 17-year-old Avraham Yeshaya Spiegel, who drowned together with his brother, Yissachar Dov Spiegel z”l, on Erev Shabbos Parshas Shemini while entering the water at Sanz Beach in Netanya.

Yissachar Dov was pulled from the water and was niftar days later, while Avraham Yeshaya remained missing for 10 days as massive search efforts continued along the coastline.

Family members are hoping the body is his so he can finally be brought to kevuras Yisroel.
