Marine police in northern Israel have rescued four people from a boat that sank in the Sea of Galilee, says a police spokesman.
None of the four — two adults and two children — are injured in the incident.
Passengers put on their life jackets once the boat began sinking, at the behest of its owner.
Law enforcement says the owner simultaneously called the police and fired a distress flare from the sinking boat, helping officers to locate him.
