Haredi toddler found alone overnight at West Bank bus terminal
A Haredi toddler was found alone overnight at a bus terminal near the Qalandiya checkpoint, south of Ramallah.
An employee at the terminal noticed the boy at around 2 a.m. and called police, who took the child to a nearby station.
Police located the parents this morning. They are residents of Modi’in Illit, a Haredi settlement in the West Bank. They will reunite with their child and then undergo questioning by police about the incident.
The child is around three years old and speaks only Yiddish. Officers were unable to glean any relevant information from him, police say.
