The Israel Police and volunteers have launched an urgent search operation following the disappearance of 17-year-old Tahel Samih from Jerusalem. There are grave concerns for her safety and well-being after she went missing on yesterday afternoon around 15:30 near the Malha Mall, David Alroy Street, and Rivka Imenu Street.

Tahel, who also introduces herself under the name Tahel Levy, is described by her family as a highly responsible teenager who always keeps her relatives updated on her whereabouts. Her mother shared that Tahel's phone has been turned off, she is not answering calls, and a police location tracking attempt indicated that the device remained in the same spot where she was last seen.

The family noted that she was last known to be in the company of a minor whose identity is familiar to them. However, all attempts to locate her have failed, raising severe fears within her family that she may have been abducted or harmed.

Tahel is known to frequent the Malha Mall, the Mahane Yehuda Market, and the Nachlaot neighborhood. At the time of her disappearance, she was wearing beige leggings, a white shirt, and white sneakers. Anyone with information regarding her whereabouts or who may have seen her is urged to contact the Israel Police emergency hotline by dialing 100.
