Three teenage hikers were rescued Monday morning after getting stuck overnight in loose, steep terrain near reporting point 12 in the Dragot Cliffs area of the Judean Desert. The extraction was carried out by the Lahava airborne rescue team together with a police helicopter from the aerial unit.

According to Hebrew reports, the helicopter moved in extremely close to the ground in a hover rescue due to the difficult terrain, and the boys were lifted directly into the aircraft. They were then flown to the evacuation point, where medical teams were waiting.

All three were reported to be in good condition and did not require urgent evacuation from the scene.
