Israeli embassy loses contact with mother, daughter in Vienna, requests public's help to find them

The two should immediately reach out to their family, the embassy's emergency hotline at +436763672304, or the local police, the embassy said in a Facebook post.

The Israeli Embassy in Vienna has lost contact with a mother and daughter, Mali and Liel Yahalomi, who have reportedly gone missing since Friday. The Foreign Ministry announced the situation on Tuesday afternoon. The two Israelis were last seen and should immediately contact their family or the Israeli embassy's emergency hotline at +436763672304, or the local police, according to the embassy's Facebook post.

This incident echoes a similar event in May, when an 80-year-old Israeli man, Meir Forman, went missing in Vienna. Forman had mistakenly boarded the wrong flight at Ben-Gurion Airport, intending to fly to Munich, Germany, but instead landed in Vienna. Despite wandering out of the airport, he was found after a weekend search by Austrian and Israeli authorities, having suffered from severe confusion and memory loss. He arrived in the city without a phone or financial means.
