Family of Missing Girl, Haimnot Kassao, Marks 945 Days with Protest

The family of Haimnot Kassao, who disappeared 945 days ago at the age of 9, has established a protest tent near the government compound in Jerusalem. The family moved their usual Sukkot protest to the capital to raise public awareness and garner support during the holiday.

Haimnot was last seen at an absorption center in the northern city of Safed. Her family is appealing to the public to join them in their Sukkot tent to show solidarity and help them find answers.

Eli Sharabi, a former hostage, visited the Kassao family's protest tent, calling their situation a "duty and a mitzvah" to support. He emphasized the need for unity around the family and urged all possible security agencies, including the Shin Bet, to be involved in the investigation to bring Haimnot home.

Sharabi stressed the urgency of shedding light on the "difficult case" and ensuring every effort is made to secure Haimnot's return. He called for a collective effort to unite around the family and do "everything, but everything, including the Shin Bet, to bring a child home."

Other former hostages and families of returned captives, such as Shelly Shem Tov, mother of Omer Shem Tov, have previously stood with the Kassao family, highlighting the ongoing struggle and urging the public not to forget Haimnot.
