Bank of Jerusalem Shares Plunge Amid Investigation Into Disappearance in Vienna

Shares of Bank of Jerusalem have sharply declined on the stock exchange following developments in the investigation into the disappearance of Mally and Liel Yahalomi in Vienna. The case has drawn significant attention, with Israeli authorities involved in the inquiry. The investigation has been transferred to the National Fraud Investigation Unit of Lahav 433 in Israel after initial assessments suggested the disappearance was unlikely related to nationalist motives.

Meanwhile, Austrian authorities continue their search and examination of the circumstances surrounding the disappearance. On August 13, 2026, an Israeli court approved a gag order at the request of Lahav 433, prohibiting the publication of details related to the investigation in Israel. Due to this order, no further information about the investigative directions being pursued in Israel can be disclosed at this time.

Mally and Liel Yahalomi were last seen in Vienna on the previous Friday, after which all contact with them was lost. Their family has cooperated with Lahav 433 investigators, providing testimony and all available information. The family insists that the possibility of a nationalist-related incident should continue to be examined until the two are found.
