Eitan Biran
Known for subject of an international custody dispute

Eitan Biran is a child, who was the sole survivor of a disaster, in Italy, in May, 2021.[1] Biran was injured, and his parents, his brother, two great-grandparents, and nine other passengers, were killed, when a cable car they were traveling in plunged to the ground.[2]

Italian authorities were not immediately able to determine Biran's identity.[1] Biran's aunt, Aya Biran, who, like Biran and his parents, was a resident of Italy, was granted custody of Biran, shortly after the accident.[3] However, his maternal grandfather, Schmulik Peleg, challenged this custody arrangement.
