Israel Police launched an air, sea and land search after a man in his 20s entered the water at Haifa’s Student Beach on Thursday afternoon and did not emerge. Carmel District officers searched along the beach and in the water with marine police, a police aerial-unit helicopter, jeep-unit volunteers and other rescue forces. Police had not released the man’s identity or the exact time he entered the sea. No recovery or other outcome had been reported by early Friday.
