Search teams on several boats and in helicopters searched for hours until they found the family in the water, clinging to their capsized vessel. They were found by using thermal night vision.
One person was suffering from hypothermia and is in moderate condition. The rest were in light condition and were released after being treated at Poriya Hospital in Tiberius.
