The 25-year-old Sderot resident was hiking his way around the country on a post-army trek with friends when he fell from a height of five meters into a coursing river last Wednesday near Siltepec in the Chiapas Highlands.

Rimon was ultimately sucked into a waterfall, his friends said.

Local search and rescue teams hunted for the missing Israeli for hours, Israel’s foreign ministry said.

Rimon was a member of a special forces unit during his service in the IDF.
