A man who was reported missing in Judea and Samaria Thursday afternoon, sending security forces scrambling across the area in a mad dash against time, faked his disappearance along with a friend, the Judea and Samaria District police said.
Police said they view the incident with the utmost severity in particular due to what they said was a “major waste of resources for all of the security services.”
Police said Niv Asraf, 22 from Beersheba, was found alive and well in a dry creek bed outside Kiryat Arba, with a sleeping bag and a supply of canned goods. They added that the investigation against Asraf and his friend is ongoing.
