The search for the family members, who were hiking in the Nahal Dragot in the Judean Desert, began after their tracks disappeared at nightfall. They entered the stream in the morning, after registering according to the procedures at the entrance to the reserve, to hike in the reserve in the northeastern Judean Desert.
After it became clear that they did not leave and their vehicle remained in the parking lot, attempts were made to contact them, but without success.
Dozens of members of the Megilot rescue unit were called in and began searching, with the assistance of a drone. As mentioned, the family was located around midnight.
