Israeli security forces have been searching since Wednesday night for Yativ Sardal, a resident of Ariel, who has been missing after reportedly entering an Arab village in the Samaria region of the West Bank of his own volition. Police and the IDF launched extensive searches and established an inter-organizational command post upon receiving the report.
Technological capabilities and intelligence-gathering efforts are being employed to locate Sardal and ensure his safety. Special units, including the elite Matzada unit of the Prison Service, have joined the search, and a police helicopter has been deployed to the area. Sardal was last seen on Wednesday evening in the vicinity of Ariel. He is described as approximately 1.78 meters tall, with black hair, dark brown eyes, and a slim to medium build. He was last seen wearing black shorts, a black shirt, and white flip-flops.
