Israeli couple and toddler son enter Bethlehem, rescued safely
The Palestinian police located an Israeli couple and their one-year-old son near a hotel in Bethlehem on Thursday. The three were handed over to Israeli security forces in good health. The parents, Jerusalem residents aged 41 and 34, were questioned at the Etzion police station on suspicion of entering a restricted area. They were subsequently released under restrictive conditions. According to police, the search began after the father called the 100 emergency hotline at around 8:25 p.m., claiming that he had accidentally entered Area A along with tourists. The family was located through coordination between the Israel Police, the IDF and the Palestinian police.
