Israeli Man Amir Ambarbar Missing in Japan for Over Three Weeks Amid Extensive Search
Amir Ambarbar, a 23-year-old from Ramla, Israel, has been missing in Japan for more than three weeks. He left Israel on April 20, 2026, and was last recorded entering Japan on August 2, after which all contact with him ceased. The Israeli police received family authorization to publicize his disappearance and are appealing to the public for assistance in locating him. Ambarbar is described as approximately 1.70 meters tall, slim, with brown hair and black eyes. Authorities urge anyone with information to contact the Israeli police emergency line or the Ramla police station.
This case is part of a recent series of disappearances involving young Israelis. Another case involves Nachman Keinan, 24, from Beit Shemesh, who went missing over a week ago while traveling to Safed, with his last known location near Tiberias. His family and volunteers continue extensive searches in the area. Additionally, the article references the recent safe recovery of Mally and Liel Yahalomi, an Israeli mother and daughter who disappeared in Vienna and were found in Argentina.
The police continue to coordinate efforts to locate missing Israelis both domestically and abroad, emphasizing the importance of public cooperation in these investigations.
