Israeli Police Deploy 250 Officers and Spend Millions in Search for Maly and Liel Yahalomi
Israeli police launched an extensive and costly operation to locate Maly and Liel Yahalomi, involving around 250 officers from various units including intelligence, negotiation, and profiling experts. The investigation included issuing dozens of warrants to access the women's phones, personal communications, and computers in an effort to trace their whereabouts. Authorities conducted thorough searches of their rented home and collected testimonies from friends, family members, Maly's employers, and her ex-husband.
Despite repeated attempts by the family to contact Maly and Liel, no response was received. The police operation is estimated to have cost approximately 5 million shekels, reflecting the scale and complexity of the search. However, officials clarified that the family will not be asked to reimburse the expenses incurred during the investigation. The case continues to draw public attention as authorities work to resolve the situation.
This large-scale police effort highlights the resources and coordination involved in missing persons cases in Israel, with a focus on intelligence gathering and community cooperation to locate the missing individuals.
