The eight-year-old child from Jerusalem’s Arab neighborhood of Beit Hanina who was reported missing on Friday was found dead at the bottom of a cistern on Saturday morning, according to Israeli media reports."When we arrived at the scene there was a big bustle, dozens of people were walking around the place," Magen David Adom Paramedic Yanai Levy said in a statement. "Local medical staff performed basic resuscitation on the child. While transferring him to an intensive care unit, we were told that he was extracted from the reservoir without signs of life. We continued the medical care and cleared it while performing CPR operations at the hospital.”

Police forces and thousands of volunteers spent several hours searching for him. 

According to Israel Police, Qais abu Ramila was last seen on Friday afternoon and later reported missing by his family. He was last seen entering a car. His parents said they believe he was kidnapped.
 

“We demand the police check security footage [from the streets],” his family told The Jerusalem Post's sister publication Maariv. “If it turns out he was kidnapped by [Jewish West Bank] settlers it would set the entire neighborhood on fire.” The boy's father was taken for questioning by the police. According to Ynet, this is a routine procedure and the father is not a suspect.

MK  Ahmad Tibi took part in the searches and called local residents to “let security services do their job and search for the child everywhere.” 
 

“Things are worrisome,” he told Ynet. “I hope that all doubts will be proven false and that the police and we will find the child in good health.”
