Sources close to the family of a 23-year-old Israeli Arab from Jaljulya who allegedly paraglided into Syria to join an Islamist rebel group said Sunday that the family received a message that the man was alive and well.

According to the sources, an anonymous caller telephoned the family, telling them, “Your son is well.”

Relatives and acquaintances of the defector arrived at the family home in Jaljulya throughout Sunday. According to one such visitor, the man’s mother cried the entire time. “My son did not go to Syria to join the rebel groups,” she shouted, according to an eyewitness. “I believe that he will come home soon,” she is said to have added.

One relative of the man said that he believes the paraglider was accidentally blown from his path because of strong winds. “We don’t believe the security forces’ version of events – that he flew to Syria to join the ranks of the Islamic State, ISIS,” the relative said.

When asked about the paraglider, one of his relatives said that “nobody from the family knew that he learned parachuting.” He added that “the police and the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) told us this morning that he bought a paraglider and hid it in his car. Nobody from the family saw the parachute. Plus, you need to practice to parachute. So where exactly did he practice parachuting?”
