Israeli forces located 30 missing people in the southern kibbutz of Ein Hashlosha last night, three days into Hamas’s lethal invasion into southern Israel.
Authorities say they received a report at around 9 p.m. last night of a group of 16 Israelis and 14 Thais who were missing.
A joint situation room of the military, police, Shin Bet, and various ministries looked into the details, and at 9:52 p.m., IDF teams were sent to the kibbutz to rescue them.
The group was found alive and well, authorities say in a joint statement.
During Hamas’s terror attack on towns in southern Israel, many residents fled and attempted to hide.
