Soldiers found the body of Eliyahu Asheri near Ramallah. He was shot in the head and authorities believe he was killed on Sunday immediately after his abduction. Authorities are also investigating the disappearance of Noah Moskovich (pictured), 62, of Rishon LeZion. YNet News writes:
Moskovich himself, police said, was unhealthy and had suffered a stroke in the past. Police are looking into the possibility that he lost his way.
He usually carries a note bearing his name and address in order to avoid such situations. Worried family members said that “he has never been gone for this long.”
The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades claimed it captured Moskovich, but has offered no proof as of yet. The army continues searching for Cpl. Gilad Shalit as well. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the captives.
UPDATE: Police search teams discovered the body of Moskovich in a field not far from his house less that twelve hours after the Al-Aqsa announcement, proving the terrorists’ claim to be false. There was no evidence of foul play.
