Israeli Police Seek Public Help to Locate Mother Suspected of Kidnapping Her Two Children in Jerusalem
Israeli police have urgently requested public assistance in locating a 20-year-old Jerusalem woman, Alia Joy Hirschberg, and her two young children, following an investigation into suspected child abduction. The Jerusalem District Police, specifically investigators from the Lev HaBira station, opened the inquiry after receiving a complaint against Hirschberg. She is suspected of abducting her children, three-year-old Taleh Reizel and one-year-old Natan Yaakov Verona.
Initial findings indicate that Hirschberg and the children entered Israel in August 2025, but have since disappeared. Authorities believe the mother and children may currently be in the Jerusalem area. Police have urged anyone with information about their whereabouts to contact the Israeli police emergency number 100 or the investigating unit directly at 02-5391550.
This case is part of ongoing efforts by Israeli law enforcement to address child abduction concerns within the country. The police's call for public cooperation highlights the urgency and seriousness of the investigation.
