Police say that they have located the body of a man who has been missing since mid-March when a crane collapsed into the sea.
The crane collapsed due to strong winds at the Rutenberg power station on the coast near Ashkelon. Another man who was also killed in the incident was found a day later.
Police say that after intensive searches the body has been located under the wreckage, but has not yet been retrieved.
The Israel Electric Corporation identifies the victim as Nir Dekel and says it hopes the discovery will help ease the pain of his family.
