Israeli girl found wandering through Hebron returned safely home

By Avi Issacharoff, Haaretz Correspondent

Palestinian police officers in the West Bank city of Hebron on Friday returned a 3-year-old Israeli girl to the custody of her parents after she was found wandering on her own through the Palestinian part of town.

The girl, whose family resides in Jewish neighborhood of Avraham Avinu, had crossed the line separating the two parts of town unnoticed to play with local Palestinian children.

Just before nightfall she was spotted and picked up by Palestinian police officers. Thinking she belonged to a Palestinian family, a call went out among the mosques for the child's parents to come claim her.

When Israeli authorities got word of the missing child they realized she was in fact an Israeli girl whose family had reported her as missing earlier in the day, and a meeting was arranged to return her safely to her parent's care.
