The nightly drama that ended well: Two brothers, ages 3 and 7, from the settlement of Tekoa in Gush Etzion were found safe last night (Sunday) after leaving their home late in the evening - and their traces disappeared.
After a search, they were found sleeping under a tree and covered with a tarp.
Upon receiving the report of their disappearance, volunteers from the Etzion-Yehuda rescue unit and police officers from the Etzion station began searching for the two.
The local emergency team and the local security department also joined the efforts.
In parallel with the forces' activity, hundreds of residents of the area arrived at the search area set up by the rescue unit, with the aim of assisting in the search. The helpers went into the area after receiving a search briefing.
After a nerve-wracking time and great tension, the brothers were located during the scans, by a search team sent under the direction of the Etzion-Yehuda search team.
According to the police, the two children are in good condition - and have returned home.
