Missing Beit Shemesh Man Found Dead in Swiss Forest Near Tiberias

The end of a 10-day national search has police opening a forensic investigation into the cause of death.

Overview

  • Rescuers and volunteers discovered and identified the body of 24-year-old Kasriel Nachman Keinan in the Swiss Forest near Tiberias on Thursday after searches across the Kinneret area.
  • ZAKA Northern District received a report of a body at about 1:40 p.m. and completed identification procedures that matched the missing man for whom searches had run more than a week.
  • Teams described the scene as rugged and cliff‑adjacent, and ZAKA volunteers worked with rescue forces to recover the body from difficult terrain.
  • Investigators have been tracing Keinan’s last movements using Rav‑Kav travel and cellphone data and security footage that showed him entering and leaving the kever of Rabbi Meir Baal Haness in Tiberias.
  • Authorities have not released a cause or detailed circumstances of death and forensic and police inquiries are ongoing while family and communities process the loss after a wide volunteer mobilization.
