The identity of the rescuer who found missing 4-year-old Yuval Kogan has been revealed as Noam Simchi, a Breslov Hasid from Ashdod. Simchi reportedly went out on his horse this morning and located the child.
At 14:56 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that the child was found safe and healthy near Nitzanim beach. A United Hatzalah volunteer described the child as dehydrated but conscious and in good condition. The rescuer on horseback later recounted finding the child under a tree after a wrong turn, calling it a great miracle. Earlier that afternoon, the Prison Service had deployed the Tzur unit, which supervises sex offenders, along with drone teams, district units, and special forces in the search.
The search for Yuval involved extensive resources, including the Prison Service's Tzur unit, drone teams, the YAMAZ South district unit, detective units, and Nahshon fighters, as The Zioneer reported at 14:56.
The circumstances of the child's disappearance have not been disclosed, and further details about the search remain unverified.
