Israeli Attorney Missing After Hippo Attack in Zambia
JTA
An Israeli attorney on vacation with his family in Zambia is missing after a hippopotamus attacked and flipped the boat he was riding in with his children.
Israeli media are reporting that Aviyam Yariv, 39, the son of Israeli editor Hilit Yeshurun, was likely attacked by hippos and alligators in the Zambezi River.
Yariv’s two children were able to make it to shore; he reportedly was not wearing a life jacket.
Yeshurun has arrived in Zambia to help search for her son. The Israeli consul to Nairobi in Kenya, the closest diplomat to the incident, also has arrived to assist in the search, Ynet reported.

Recently Discovery’s Animal Planet did a documentery on these hippos, and they’ve actually found these attacks to be susspiciously resulting to local whichcraft:

Zambia is deep in primitive territory where poeple claim still has witches. The which curses a certain person in the vilage, or his family, and uses an hippo idol to communicate with the hippos in the river who will only go after the blood of a specific individual. In this case the individual was a Jew.
There is a story of someone who turned to the rebbe to pull him out of the spell of these central aftican whichcraft, it was printed in the Kfar Chabad some years back
so when the Torah speaks of whichcraft it’s not only from ancient times but its alive and well even today in some places in the world
