Search efforts continued late Motzaei Shabbos along the Netanya shoreline for yeshiva bochur Avraham Yeshayahu ben Shoshana, who was swept into the sea together with his brother on Erev Shabbos, as rescue teams expanded operations using drones and divers.

As part of the overnight search, an operational drone was deployed over the water in an effort to locate the missing bochur, with teams continuing their work even after nightfall.

At the same time, tefillos were organized in multiple locations. A large gathering took place this evening at the Kosel HaMaaravi, where talmidim from Yeshivas Tifrach assembled for heartfelt tefillah. Another central tefillah gathering was held at the kever of the Chazon Ish in Bnei Brak.

Additional tefillos were held in Yerushalayim, including at the yeshiva of the bochur’s father, Rav Spiegel, in the Beis Yisroel neighborhood, as well as in Ramat Shlomo, both at the Chazon Ish beis haknesses and the central shul on Rechov Rav Kahaneman, where the brothers reside.

Following a joint assessment involving emergency services and police, ZAKA’s specialized response units—including its diving team—prepared to resume coordinated search efforts along the coastline on Motzaei Shabbos. Dozens of volunteers are expected to comb the beachfront overnight, while preparations are underway to begin underwater searches at first light using advanced technological equipment and specialized diving gear.

The operation is being carried out in coordination with fire department units, including the Lehava rescue team, as well as maritime police forces, all working toward locating the missing individual as quickly as possible.

Due to the family’s proximity to the hospital, members of the Sanzer chassidus assisted them throughout Shabbos, while the father visited the Sanzer Rebbe to receive a brachah during that time.

The public is urged to continue davening for the recovery of the brothers, Yissachar Dov and Avraham Yeshayahu bnei Shoshana, for a complete refuah sheleimah among all the sick of Klal Yisroel.
