The body of one of the two Israeli tourists missing in Peru was found Thursday following a helicopter search of the area. The two went missing following a rafting accident in the Peruvian Apurimac River on Monday, while six other Israelis on the raft found their way to safety and have been located. According to the Foreign Ministry, a local guide on the raft reported the accident, and local search teams – augmented by a team sent by an insurance company – were searching the river bank for the missing Israelis. Their families have been notified.
