A young Israeli man who went missing two years ago was found in a Jordanian hospital and returned to Israel.
Shalom Rotban, the son of Chabad chasidim from Kiryat Malachi in southern Israel, suffered post-dramatic-stress disorder as a result of a rocket strike that occurred near his home during Operation Pillar of Defense in 2012 when he was a child.
Rotban, who is now in his 20s, went missing several times in the years following the rocket strike, but he disappeared without a trace in May 2021, leading his family to fear for his life.
About three weeks ago, Rotman was found by Jordanian citizens walking aimlessly near the capital city of Amman. They took him to a mental institution, where a nurse realized he was Israeli and contacted Israeli authorities to report that one of their citizens was hospitalized in Jordan.
Israel Dog Unit received word that Rotman had been located and quickly informed the missing man's family, who quickly travelled to Jordan to embrace their son for the first time in two years.
