Large numbers of police and IDF forces were searching for an Israeli who was reported missing and feared kidnapped Thursday afternoon in the West Bank near Hebron. 

At around 4:15 p.m. on Thursday, police received an emergency 100 call from a youth who said that he and a friend had got stuck with a flat tire in the West Bank between Kiryat Arba and the Palestinian village of Beit Anun, and his friend who went to bring tools for the flat did not return to the vehicle. 

At the time, the individual who made the police call said he had been waiting for his friend for more than half-an-hour.
