#2 Update from Ynet:

Israel: No Hamas prisoner release for two missing Israelis

...A second citizen, a Bedouin resident of the south, has also crossed the border into the Strip, also of his own accord, in April 2015. The young Bedouin is said to be mentally ill, and has tried to cross into Gaza in the past.

Mangisto was seen walking on the beach, heading south. He reached the Zikim beach area, and continued walking south until he crossed an electric fence that divides Israel from Gaza, which starts on the beach and continues into the water.

#3 Even more from The Times of Israel. It seems Mr. Mengistu, who was rejected by the Israeli army, wanted to go back to Ethiopia, while the Bedouin lad was in the habit of wandering into bordering countries.

#4 One has to wonder if the wandering Bedouin is / was able to stay within the lines of his childhood coloring book also....
