Wave of disappearances: searches for Amit Natan in Tel Aviv and Israeli women in Austria
Extraordinary events have put security forces and diplomatic missions on high alert. While a missing person at risk is being sought in Israel, efforts are underway in Austria to locate two Israeli women who disappeared during their vacation.
The Israel Police and the Israeli Embassy in Vienna continue their intensive efforts to locate missing persons following a worrying wave of disappearances both in Israel and abroad. While in Israel the police are requesting the public's help in locating Amit Natan, a 36-year-old from Rosh HaAyin who is classified as a missing person at risk, a dramatic appeal for help has been issued in Austria to locate a mother and her daughter, Israeli citizens, with whom contact was lost during a vacation.
Amit Natan was last seen on July 29 in the Florentin area of Tel Aviv. His description: 1.75 meters tall, thin build, black hair with a receding hairline, a long beard, and brown eyes. At the time of his disappearance, he was wearing a black shirt, shorts, and flip-flops. The police call on anyone with information regarding his whereabouts to contact the 100 emergency center or the Rosh HaAyin station at 03-9004444.
At the same time, the Israeli Embassy in Vienna published an urgent appeal for help in locating Meli and Liel Yahalomi, who were on vacation in Austria and did not return to Israel as scheduled. Contact with them has been lost since August 7. The embassy distributed their photos on social media in English and German, appealing to the public and the missing persons themselves to make contact. Information can be provided to the local police or to the embassy's emergency line at +43-676-3672304.
Both cases have put security and diplomatic forces on high alert. The public in Israel and abroad is urged to remain vigilant, share the photos of the missing, and report any relevant information immediately, with the assurance that every report will be kept in complete confidentiality.
