Israeli Missing in Greece; Rescue Mission Underway on Mount Olympus

An Israeli man, 46-year-old Ami Yogev from Modi'in, has been missing in the Mount Olympus region of Greece for a week. He was last seen on Sunday, September 20th. A search and rescue mission, organized by the Magnus company in coordination with Yogev's family and local authorities, is currently active in the area. The team includes two field experts, a complex event management specialist, and a professional drone operator. They are working closely with local police, fire services, the Israeli Consulate, and a network of Israeli volunteers.

Magnus is appealing to other Israelis who were in the Mount Olympus area on September 19th and 20th for any photos or information that might aid the search. Currently, there is no confirmed information on Yogev's whereabouts. The search efforts have been narrowed down to two main locations. The weather on the mountain has been challenging, with rain and fog, and Yogev was reportedly hiking in difficult conditions, including a storm.

Yogev arrived in Greece two weeks ago specifically to climb Mount Olympus. He last communicated with his mother on the morning of September 20th, stating he was heading towards the summit and later reached a cabin. His rented car was found at a parking lot in the area. His family is also seeking police approval to access his phone data, potentially through a court order, to gather more information.

The rescue team is in contact with local guides and authorities. The exact point from which Yogev sent his last known photo has been identified. The family is pursuing legal avenues to access his phone records if official approval is not granted.
