On video: The search for Attorney Raad Mahamid in Kinneret continues (Walla system!)
Navy divers today (Saturday) located and recovered the body of lawyer Raad Mahamid in Kinneret.
The body was discovered at a depth of 33 meters, near the point where he fell into the water.
The police and the IDF spokeswoman said that "from receiving the report until finding him, hundreds of police officers, marines, volunteers and civilians worked around the clock in an attempt to locate him.
The purpose of the operation was to locate the missing person as soon as possible while trying to locate him while still alive.
In the race against time, all available means were used, including: advanced technological means, sea arm warriors, helicopters and police boats, jet skis, volunteer boats"
Last seen nine days ago.

The 49-year-old Mahamid, married and father of three, works at the "Ryan" center in Baqa al-Gharbiyya, which deals with training to reduce gaps in the world of work.
Mahamid himself is a member of a family of nine children, eight sons and a daughter.
His father-in-law, his wife's father, died about three weeks ago, and after the mourning that hit the family, he went out on Friday to freshen up at Lake Kinneret with his brother-in-law - his wife's brother, and with another friend.
The boat belongs to a friend of the brother-in-law, a resident of the town of Zemar.
The incident took place on Friday, July 22, in the afternoon, when the three were about a kilometer from Ein Gev beach.
Raad, who was standing on the side of the boat, tripped and fell into the water of the lake, which at the time was wavy, with a strong westerly wind, as usual for this time of the year.
According to their description, they threw him a life vest but he was unable to catch it, and then they threw him a wheel and he was unable to reach it either, so eye contact with him was already lost.
