Eldar Dayan's body found near Petah Tikva after three weeks of searching, police confirm
Dayan’s family said it learned that a body had been found through media reports rather than directly from police.
A 23-year-old Dimona resident, Eldar Dayan, whose body was discovered on Thursday near the Yarkon Interchange in Petah Tikva after three weeks of extensive searches, has been confirmed by police to be that of Dayan. The body, in a state of advanced decomposition, was found during police operations led by the Sharon Central Unit and Petah Tikva police, with the assistance of Border Police officers and volunteers.
The discovery came after Dayan's friends were arrested on suspicion of involvement in a hit-and-run incident and obstruction of the investigation.
