Israeli Police Renew Search for Missing 21-Year-Old Rachel Azoulay

Israeli police have renewed their urgent appeal to the public for assistance in locating Rachel Azoulay, a 21-year-old resident of Kiryat Gat who has been missing for nearly a year. Azoulay was last seen near Jerusalem on August 7, 2025, and contact with her has since been lost. Authorities emphasize that the investigation into her disappearance remains a top priority for the local police station.

The search efforts involve extensive operations by various specialized police units, including investigative, technological, and operational teams. Physical searches have been conducted across multiple locations nationwide, supported by volunteers and civilian rescue units. Recent weeks have seen comprehensive checks at medical institutions, in-depth questioning of acquaintances and family members, and searches of abandoned buildings and open areas.

In addition to these visible efforts, covert intelligence activities are ongoing. The police urge the public to remain vigilant and report any information regarding Azoulay’s whereabouts. Anyone with relevant information is asked to contact the Israeli police emergency number 100 or the Kiryat Gat police station directly at 08-6872205.
