One of the nine teenagers killed in flash flood in the desert near the Dead Sea earlier today told a friend yesterday that she feared for her life in joining the hike that took place in an area known for treacherous weather conditions.

Text messages from the girl, published by Hadashot news, reveal her predicting a tragedy and saying she thought the trip was a bad idea.

“It makes no sense to go to a place where everything is floods,” she told her friend in a WhatsApp exchange ahead of the bonding hike organized by the Bnei Tzion pre-military academy in Tel Aviv. “We’ll die! I’m serious.”

Her friend tried to reassure her, saying that she was sure they would be going to somewhere else that was safe, telling her not to exaggerate.
