Israeli Police and Civil Intelligence Team Locate Missing Mother and Daughter in Argentina
After a week of intensive search efforts, Israeli police, together with a civilian investigation team composed of former IDF intelligence officers, successfully located Mally and Liel Yahalomi in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The mother and daughter, who had been missing since last Friday in Vienna, were found alive on a bus. The discovery was made possible through advanced surveillance techniques and international cooperation involving Europol and other foreign law enforcement agencies.
Initial interrogations revealed that the two had planned their disappearance, likely due to financial debts. They traveled from Austria to the Czech Republic, switched off their phones, purchased new mobile devices, and then flew to South America. It was understood that Prague was chosen to acquire a mobile phone without identification, and Argentina was a transit point en route to another South American country without an extradition treaty with Israel.
The investigation also uncovered that Mally and Liel had consulted the AI engine Gemini before executing their plan, with some deleted conversations partially restored through technological means. The Yahalomi family confirmed that all public donations collected during the search will be refunded and expressed immense relief at their safe recovery, thanking the Israeli public, police, the Vienna consulate, and rescue teams for their support.
Prior to their discovery, Austrian police confirmed the disappearance was voluntary and premeditated, and Interpol sources had reported their flight to South America. Israeli police had focused on Argentina as the likely destination, which was confirmed upon their location.
Summary: Israeli police and a civilian intelligence team found missing mother and daughter Mally and Liel Yahalomi alive in Argentina after a week-long search, revealing a planned disappearance involving AI consultations and international travel.
