Mali and Liel Yahalomi, an Israeli mother and daughter from the Modiin area, have been arrested in Namibia on suspicion of possessing forged passports, according to Israeli media reports. The new development follows their mysterious disappearance in Europe earlier in August. The pair had traveled to Prague and then Vienna, where they rented an apartment. Their communication ceased after a few days, and their mobile phones were later found near a train station in Vienna. Their personal belongings were also missing from the rented accommodation.
Following their disappearance, the Israeli Embassy in Vienna sought public assistance, and the case was assigned to the Lahav 433 special police unit in Israel. A week later, the women were located on an intercity bus traveling to Buenos Aires. Israeli and Namibian authorities confirmed they were safe and unharmed. They were questioned and released at the time, as there was no suspicion of terrorism or criminal activity, and their disappearance was deemed voluntary.
The current arrest in Namibia has drawn the attention of Israeli and international agencies. It is anticipated that Israeli police will become involved in further investigations related to this new development.
