  • Israeli police are seeking public assistance to find a 16-year-old boy missing since July 20.

Israeli police are appealing to the public for help in locating a 16-year-old boy from Acre who has been missing since late July. Karim Abdel Kader was last seen on July 20 after leaving his school in I'billin, located in northern Israel.

Kader is described as having black hair and dark skin. He was last seen wearing a black shirt and matching pants. Police confirmed he does not have a phone with him. Authorities urge anyone with information regarding his whereabouts to contact the police hotline at 100 or the Acre Police Station at 04-987-6808.

The announcement of Kader's disappearance comes shortly after another missing persons case, involving an Israeli mother and daughter, was successfully resolved. Mali and Liel Yahalomi had been reported missing since August 7, sparking a significant search effort.

Police located Mali and Liel Yahalomi alive on a bus in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Their journey involved travel from Israel to Prague, then Vienna, possibly through Frankfurt, before reaching Argentina. Authorities are investigating the circumstances of their trip, including the reasons for their travel to Argentina and their lack of contact with family members while police were actively searching for them. Initial reports suggest they may have recorded videos for their family in Vienna but sent them after leaving the country, creating the impression they were still in Europe. The investigation also reportedly points to personal financial circumstances influencing their travel.
