Summary

  • Dozens of volunteers joined a renewed Wednesday search near Yarmut Park in Beit Shemesh as police and rescue groups kept combing Tiveria and the Kinneret for missing yeshiva student Nachman Keinan.
  • Security footage traced Keinan’s Monday movements from Tiveria’s central bus station toward the Rambam and Reb Meir Baal Haness graves, then later toward Gai Beach, where police place his last confirmed sighting at about 6 p.m.
  • Drones, search dogs, 4x4 teams and Kinneret divers have covered open terrain, buildings, cisterns and shoreline grids, but Keinan’s brother said investigators still have “no lead” after more than a week.
  • Keinan left Beit Shemesh on Sunday intending to meet his rabbi in Tzfas, spent the night in the Meron area, and sent his father a final message around noon Monday saying his phone battery might die.
  • Police earlier told the family they were examining a possible nationalist motive, but no breakthrough has been announced and YAKAL says there is serious concern for his life.
