For the first time I just saw a guy paddling a kayak....

....Four young rappelers were swept away and drowned Saturday afternoon after ignoring warnings that a flash flood was rushing toward them through the narrow walls of Nahal Qumran.

The bodies of Dror Koren, Noa Shapira, Tal Alon, and Amit Gottlieb, were only recovered hours after the floodwaters slammed into them while their horrified friends looked on...."We began to yell at the people to leave, but four decided to continue to rappel. Their friends even yelled back at us: 'What are you doing? These people are rappeling instructors, they know what to do,'" Ofir recalled hours after the tragedy.
