Mali and Liel Yahalomi, an Israeli mother and daughter who disappeared in August and were later found in South America, have been detained in Namibia for possessing forged passports. Israeli police are investigating the circumstances surrounding their detention and the reason for the fake documents. The Yahalomis initially went missing in August after their trip abroad, leading to a large-scale search operation involving international law enforcement agencies. They were eventually located in Argentina, where they told an Israeli police representative that they had voluntarily cut ties with their families to start a new life due to Mali's debts, reportedly exceeding 200,000 shekels. At the time of their discovery in Argentina, they stated they were not in danger and had left of their own accord. Liel Yahalomi later spoke to relatives, expressing regret and promising further explanations. Israeli police confirmed they are not directly involved in the Namibian investigation but are working to understand the details of the current situation.
