Israeli Hiker Found Dead on Mount Olympus After Fall

The body of Ami Yogeve, a 46-year-old resident of Modi'in, was discovered on Mount Olympus in Greece, approximately two and a half weeks after he went missing. Initial assessments suggest Yogeve slipped and fell from a significant height while hiking. The "Friends Rescuers" organization, whose search party found the body, reported that their volunteers worked under difficult conditions and were preparing to descend the mountain by nightfall. Yogeve was last in contact on September 20th. He had traveled from Israel to Athens on short notice and maintained daily contact with his mother, Shosh Debi, sharing photos from his climbing route. According to his mother, he last viewed her message at 4:00 PM on the day he disappeared but became unresponsive afterward, and his phone ceased to be available. The last photo he sent to a friend showed him en route to the summit of Olympus, after which his trail went cold until the tragic discovery.
