  "summary": "The investigation into the murder of Eldar Dayan, whose remains were discovered near Yarkon Junction in Petah Tikva on July 19, has taken a significant turn as one of the suspects began providing information to investigators. Dayan, a resident of Dimona, was last seen on July 18 at a gas station in Petah Tikva. His remains were found approximately 50 meters away from the gas station, with items of clothing discovered nearby. The formal murder investigation commenced on Thursday, with the two suspects' detention extended by seven days. Police officials have stated that in the coming days, they will gain a clearer understanding of the circumstances surrounding Dayan's death. The investigation is currently centered on two of Dayan's friends, who were arrested following his disappearance. Investigators are also examining motorcycle helmets and the vehicle the three men had traveled in, which was found abandoned near the gas station with its license plates removed.",
