An Israeli tourist in Slovenia was missing and feared dead after being swept away by rapids while rafting on Sunday.
The man, 40, was part of a group of four Israeli travelers, three of whom managed to swim to safety after their raft hit a rock and was damaged, Ynet news reported.
Police and rescue services in the Central European country conducted a large search for the tourist Sunday, but called off the operation after nightfall.
