Israeli television presenter and actress Yael Bar Zohar has responded to two attempted car thefts that occurred near her home in Ramat Hasharon within a week. The first incident involved a 17-year-old Palestinian from Tulkarm, who was allegedly caught attempting to steal the couple's car and was found to be in Israel illegally. The second attempt happened just days later, when police arrested a 29-year-old resident of Nablus, also in Israel without a permit, for trying to steal the same vehicle. The suspect was apprehended inside the car with an ignition computer designed to bypass its security systems.

Following the incidents and receiving numerous concerned messages, Bar Zohar posted a video on her Instagram Stories to thank her followers and reassure them. "Good morning. I wanted to thank everyone who wrote, everyone who responded in recent days. Thank you for the concern, everything is fine," she said. She added a caption to the video stating, "Thank you for the concern of all the past days, everything is fine, thank God."

Bar Zohar and her husband, TV host Guy Zuarz, have experienced significant personal loss in recent years, including the murder of Zuarz's nephew, Eyal Baram, at the Nova music festival on October 7. Since that tragedy, the couple has become prominent voices in social activism, commemorating victims, supporting bereaved families, and strengthening Israeli society, balancing deep personal grief with extensive media work. Despite the recent stressful intrusions into their private space, Bar Zohar chose to project composure and optimism, offering her followers words of hope for peace and security.
