Families Appeal for Information on Three Negev Youths Missing in Egypt

Families of three young men from the Negev region of Israel are appealing for assistance in locating their sons, who have been missing in Egypt since March 20, 2026. The youths, identified as Bilal Hassan Masoudin, Ahmed Odeh Al-Dujay, and Bilal Salam Ibn Ayish, traveled to Egypt for the Eid holiday and lost contact with their families on that date. Their families have not received any reassuring information about their whereabouts.

The families have hired lawyer Tal Al-Sane to follow up on the case and have stated they have not yet received an official response from Egyptian authorities or the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs. They are continuing to pursue information through various channels, emphasizing their urgent need to know what happened since contact was lost.

The families have directed their appeals to government ministries, Knesset members, political parties, journalists, and rescue forces, urging anyone who can help to contribute to finding information about the missing individuals. They are also asking anyone with any information to contact the relevant authorities.

The disappearance occurred on March 20, 2026, and the families continue their efforts to ascertain the fate of the three young men and obtain official updates.
