Previously missing Israelis Mali, Liel Yahalomi due to land at Ben-Gurion Airport from Athens
The Yahalomis are on board a flight that departed from Athens, Greece.
Mali and Liel Yahalomi, previously reported missing abroad before being discovered in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in August, are scheduled to arrive at Ben-Gurion Airport on Wednesday afternoon, according to Maariv. The siblings are traveling on a flight that departed from Athens, Greece. Mali, aged 50, and her daughter Liel, 23, were confirmed missing by Israel Police in August after going missing one week prior in Vienna, Austria.
The pair did not board their return flight, which was set to leave Prague at 9:45 p.m. They were later discovered on an intercity bus in Buenos Aires. The Yahalomis initially departed Israel for Prague, then continued to Vienna, allegedly traversed through Frankfurt, and ultimately arrived in Argentina. Separately, two Iranian women apprehended in Namibia after falsely claiming to be Israeli were initially reported in Wednesday's media as the Yahalomis.
The women were seized after being found with counterfeit Hungarian passports and stating they were Israeli. Upon learning the passports were fake, Namibian authorities reached out to Israel’s Consulate in South Africa to confirm the women's identities. Rabbi Yosef Rahimi, the Chabad Lubavitch representative in Namibia, told Walla that he instantly recognized the women as Iranian when he met them at the police station.
