Israeli police are continuing their search for Yehuda Sefka, a 24-year-old Haredi man from Jerusalem who has been missing for approximately two and a half months. Police released his details again on Sunday, appealing to the public for assistance in locating him. Sefka was last seen on July 20, 2026, on Shaarei Hesed Street in Jerusalem. He is described as approximately 1.70 meters tall, with dark hair, green eyes, and was last seen wearing a white shirt, dark pants, and a black kippah. Authorities are urging anyone with information about his whereabouts to contact the Lev Habira police station at 025381550 or the police emergency hotline at 100. Sources familiar with the case suggest Sefka may have traveled to northern Israel, possibly the Tiberias or Mount Meron areas, before his disappearance. One source told the outlet Mako that Sefka vanished without contacting anyone, making it difficult to track his location, and that he likely did not have a phone with him.
