[UPDATES BELOW] Ein Geidi area rescue workers are indicating they are fearful for the lives of two Bnei Brak youths who have been listed as missing since early Friday. The two left their homes on Thursday and were last in touch with family members at about 8:00AM erev shabbos.

During the conversation, the two stated they were out of water, and in distress, admitting they were simply lost and did not have a clue where they were or how to get out of the area. They added their cell phone battery was about to run out, describing a road that was “black and red”.

After Arad police received the distress call, Ein Geidi search & rescue was activated, later joined by a number of Gush Etzion search & rescue volunteers and members of Ichud Hatzalah. The families of the boys were of course contacted by police.

Please be Mispallel for Moshe ben Yocheved, and Moshe ben Mazal Tov.
