Police were trying to work out how a two-year-old boy managed to board an intercity bus in the central city of Bnei Brak, alone, and make his way over 50 miles south.
The toddler’s parents reported him missing on Saturday.
Police inquiries traced him to a bus traveling to the southern city of Netivot, some 87 kilometers (54 miles) away, Channel 10 reported Sunday.
Officers waited for him at the Netivot bus station, and took him back to his family.
No other details about the case were available.

In December, police and rescue services found a six-year-old boy who went missing in Jerusalem after a large-scale search operation involving volunteers along with alerts on local radio stations.
Yaakov Dov Shrut was found near the Palestinian town of Hizme in the West Bank, just north of Jerusalem. He was unharmed and in good health, but “exhausted,” police said.
Sarot was last seen getting off a bus with his father on Shmuel Neiman Street, in the northern neighborhood of Neve Ya’akov the day before.
The father said the boy, who is autistic, ran off.
